Content creators, ranging from bedroom business entrepreneurs to high-end studio broadcasters create so many gigabytes and terabytes every day, that it is inevitable that a robust, safe, reliable and accessible array of digital storage is invaluable. Synology and QNAP NAS have fast become to the right answer to these needs, but standard network/internet enabled storage typically hits 1 main stumbling block – speed. The internal speed of your NAS can be accelerated in multiple ways (SSD Cache, improved Memory, better CPUs and tiered storage) but external connections that allow users to DIRECTLY access files and folders on the NAS, whilst still maintaining the ability for hundreds of users to access the NAS at the same time via the network/internet, is one that is not so easy. 80% of NAS can only be accessed via a shared network of 1GBe connectivity or the internet (which is more than enough to distribute completed work, download files, backup regular and share links), but it is that other 20% of NAS that I want to talk about today. These are NAS that use a much faster form of access, allowing editing of 1080p, 4K and RAW media files that are just TOO BIG for 1Gbe to handle. Attempts to do so over 1 Gigabit ethernet result in programs like Final Cut Pro, PhotoShop and Premier crashing/stalling. For this kind of file access on your NAS, you need to consider 10Gbe and Thunderbolt NAS Why Consider Thunderbolt NAS and 10Gbe NAS Both Thunderbolt NAS and 10Gbe (10-gigabit ethernet) are the best solutions for those that want to access and edit files on the NAS fluidly, whilst still maintaining a network-wide means of access and distribution. Both can be DIRECTLY connected from a PC or Mac to a NAS and most importantly of all, both 10GBe and Thunderbolt are suitable means to edit dense RAW photos, heavy 4K Media and multiple 1080p files. This is further bolstered by the support of Non-Linear Editing (NLE) with programs like Final Cut Pro and Premier mean that when you are editing a file on the NAS, you are actually using a clone/copied version which means that the original file is not touched/altered in the refinement process of editing your work. It is for reasons of speed and stability that both 10Gbe and Thunderbolt 2 or 3 NAS are considered the best options for NAS editing. Want to sign up to PLEX for free?
