I was thinking Raid 0 or 5 with SSD for active projects (possibly DAS) + a 2nd NAS in Raid 1, 5 or 10 with SATA III Drives. SSD is limited to 2Tb at the moment and is pricier, but is faster, totally quiet, more reliable, lasts longer (no moving parts), uses less power. When I used to own an agency, having a NAS was a must have (can't live without one). For my video editing as a hobby, DAS (With a fast connector) would work fine. I wish Synology had a Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C connector like Drobo, QNAP and others, this would open them up to wider prosumers market. Please let Synology know that having that would really tip the scales when deciding between them and the competition.
I use SHR-2. A small addition: Raid 10 is less secure than Raid 6 since theoretically 2 drives can fail, but not in the same raid compound. The failure probability of two drives is higher in an event of one drive failing, since the existing drives have to work a lot on rebuilding or copying, especially in a Raid 5.

I am glad to have searched for Synology and ran into this. I have been a geek for my entire 20 year career. This is the most fun I have had watching an explanation on RAID. Pretty dope!
To make sure that people aren't being misled by this video, I'd like to correct one quite significant error that was said about RAID 1 and RAID 10, and potentially provide a better explanation about some of their configurations. RAID 0 uses a "split" function that basically divides individual files into a number of "pieces" that equal to the HDD count in the array, which leaves you with the sum of *all* HDDs of your total capacity. (Note, that I intentionally said "split" rather than "stripe" because the latter one is used by RAID 5/6 configurations) However, RAID 1 uses a "copy" function that copies whole files into individual HDDs, leaving you with a total capacity of a single drive, no matter how many drives you have. And that's where you made a mistake trying to explain the RAID 10 configuration, because you've already explained it as RAID 1, which isn't true. RAID 10 isn't its own configuration, but rather a combination of already mentioned RAIDs: RAID 0 + RAID 1. The way how it works is the same with RAID 0, with the only difference that individual files are split into half of the total HDD count, and each unique part of the file is assigned to 2 different drives. This results you with half of the total drive capacity, no matter how many of them you have. I really hope that people will find this comment (helpful), and that the video author will make it obvious to admit of the mistake so that future viewers won't be misled by what's said in the video.
Thank you! I’ve been trying to wrap my head around RAID setups for a while and have always been too intimidated to try it. This is really helpful! I’ll be sure to use your link when it’s time to get the Synology setup 👍
EXACTLY what i was looking for.. doing daily vlogs on a worldtrip i needed a storage solution for it. found it in the Synology ds 920+, but i had NO clue about RAID, thanks Sidney !!
Thanks for this video! I'm about to take the deep dive into RAID and NAS setups after backing up to dozens of lacie drives over the years, this definitely helped inform the setup I'm after!
This was super helpful! Like level 9000 helpful! RAID 5 makes the most sense for our workflow. I’d appreciate a video talking about your workflow off the NAS. From photo to video editing. Thanks!
Really nice video, I've just started looking into a NAS RAID setup for my work and this was helpful, especially for a visual learner like myself. Beautifully made video! Thank you :)
My job this week was to rebuild a raid 6 array. They had 3 bad drives... So. They were SOL as I like to say. I recommend this (raid6) if you can do it, why? Hypothetical: let's say you have a drive fail, you are tight on funds. So it'll be a few weeks, maybe even months until you can replace it. It will definitely calm your nerves knowing you can afford to fail another in that timeframe.
i still use cold storage but i invoice for Samsung t5's for each clients project so there's always it's own backup and never cross contaminated with any other client's files. accumulating a stack, but they're small enough to catalog in some ikea containers.
Many thanks for your all amazing Videos... I have NAS Storage, RAID 5 configured with 1 volume, Right now data is 43% only but issue is after 10 or 15 days storage will be reaching to 100%, then it will be auto refresh to 43%, My concern is... Between the process getting WARNING ERROR. Please suggest me how fix it. Don't want to reach 100% Unnecessary
I often use 0 - when I have backups of my backups already. Works very well for utilizing movie, music or photo drives. That’s why they include a 0 option.
Great video, one question that i never really see answered though is with a RAID 5, when you run out of storage do you need to replace all drives or can you just add a drive?
Thanks for your videos are great, I wanted to know how you connect the DS1019+ to have acceptable speeds to edit. I use Premiere and I edit 4K videos recorded with my Sony a6400
I have a 1513+ 5 bay 5 wd red 4tb drives, I will follow your advice and go with a raid 5, what software is best to use to get the photos from my pc hard drive to the NAS 1513+ thanks that has been my only problem is how to get the files from m y hard drive to the nas and how to auto back up. any help would be appreciated. thanks
Hey Sidney, can you use SSD SATA drives instead of HHD SATA Drives for the NAS ? and would that make working from the NAS directly for Video editing (connected via cable) faster?
Question, you didn't mention SHR here, I'm a newbie, would you not even have it on the table? Is it secure for a photographer/ filmmaker? I like the idea of being able to add drives that are larger in the future. Thank you!
Quick question; If I film weddings, and my client wants all the RAW footage, (lets say, 1tb), could I use a nas to send them all that footage directly even if they dont have a nas? So I guess that my question is : How is the very large file sharing from a nas to a client? Thanks :)
I have two 1T nvme ssd's. One in a 4.0 slot and the other in a 3.0. would a raid configuration slow the performance of the 4.0 to the 3.0 speed or just the opposite? Also is it safe to change to a raid config with data present on both disks? Thanks for any help.
I find myself suffering from 'age-based evolution' in my externals. I have an OWC 4x4TB RAID5 that's been a solid performer, but it's T-Bolt 2, which is obsolete. And slower. So... Got a GDrive 2x10TB Raid 0 USB-C for all my current work, and weekly/semi-monthly backups from the G-drive. I was waiting on a Drobo, but the COVID19 pretty much sank all my plans, and I was lucky to get the G-Drive at all. My point, if I have one, is that connection protocol and speed seems to be a problem, too. One that keeps tripping me up. Now Lightning is disappearing, too. Lol. Life, it's what happens despite our best plans.
@@SidneyDiongzon It's solid. Very VERY fast, and very little latency, which was driving me a bit crazy, as I'm just a stills guy, and the OWC would spin down every couple of shots in PS, so I've been leaning into SSDs - a BlackJet two-bay VX-2SSD - more of a dock, really, but fastest thing I've ever used. It's a bit, well, cobbled together. :)
Hello happy night, thanks for such good content. I am writing to you because I have bought the same model to use as a server for editing with adobe programs with two computers. I need to get the SSD disks for the cache, I wanted to ask you if you have installed something else to have more speed. I am just setting it up today but I am interested in having good speed to edit power without problem, if you have any advice I appreciate it. sorry english i am using a translator. Regards
I've clicked the thumbnail, I've not started watching yet, but going by the title, I'm going to be disappointed if I make it all the way through and you do not use the name 'Sidnology' at least once! .. and go!
Wow annoying that everyone is getting into NAS setups. Because everyone thinks they are experts now. I love how you fail to mention on a Raid 10 if two drives fail across the y axis all your data is gone. Okay two drives failing within days or at the same time probably won’t happen. But it’s possible
What RAID setup would YOU choose!!???
Raid-Z1 with 4 disks, and one of them as an hotspare.

The failure probability of two drives is higher in an event of one drive failing, since the existing drives have to work a lot on rebuilding or copying, especially in a Raid 5.
My question is, can you change RAID setups if you regret your choice? For example: from a RAID setup 5 to a RAID setup 0.
