Hi Really helpful video! I just have a quick question. Compared to the Synology ds920+, the new Synology ds923+ does not have an integrated GPU. Will I be able to edit video directly from the ds923+? And which one would you choose for video editing?
I really like your videos, they are easy to watch and noone else i have found is doing what you do so i think its important. I like the casual approach that the other 'comments' pick on. :) please keep up that great work! 👍👍
I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to: Can I have a NAS for my laptop workstation and connect / disconnect it daily without problems? Will it appear as a drive in the file explorer every single time? (after initial setup & config of course) Thanks
I'm using a Synology 1819+ vanilla NAS for some amateur video editing using 2 PCs. To go around the transfer speed limitations, we used Synology Drive to have a local cache of the files while keeping it synchronized on the drive. Kind of a budget solution. I don't think this would work for big teams though. Also, while it may give a faster start for the station used to do the initial copy (since the files are dropped to the local synology drive instead of an SMB share for instance) it may slow down the worflow for the other stations that will need to wait for the files to do the first sync on the local machines.
I've had 872XT for sometime now... mostly for post production purposes. I've set it to thick volume, but I'd like to know should I just assign all the space from storage pool on to this thick volume, or should I leave some percentage unassigned? Any performance issues/advantages either way? Or run into some updating etc problems later if there is no unassigned space to play with. When I was first testing it before adding in all the hard drives, I remember I had some issues changing volume settings when all the storage pool had already been assigned to that that volume, as if it needed some free space in reserve to do any kind of change.
New subscriber. **Question please**. I would like to upgrade from my Drobo 5N2 to a NAS system for Sony FX3 4K video editing on an AMD Ryzen 9 3900 with Creators x570 Motherboard; single user. QNAP seems the way to go but the more videos I watch the more confusing it becomes for which one to choose. Please advice.
Man, oh maaan, do I wish two things... that #1: I wish I would've come across this video before I bought my first NAS - the QNAP TS-673a, and #2: buying an ALTERNATIVE when learning recently, thunderbolt is NOT compatible with anything RYZEN.... (which powers the 673a)
This video came out at the perfect time for me. Also you should make use of playlists to categorize videos and give viewers more options to choose from. A Great example of this is "Jc's Channel" on youtube.
Thanks for the video. I have a 453B and want to upgrade to allow for beter photo and video editing on the NAS. I am interested in either having 2.5Gbe or maybe 10Gbe, but at least the ability to upgrade to that in the future. Also, looking at a 4 bay or maybe 6 bay. Thoughts or recommendations?
Based on Your NAS type (453B - which is a Celeron based model) You have possibilities to upgrade Your network connectivity with USB3 adapters or PCIe network card. Please note that based on CPU restrictions You have only PCIe Gen v2 x2 which means better speeds and latency than USB3 5 Gbe adapter - but You can not max out the 10 Gbe speed ... You have the following options (I use the 2.5 Gbe USB3 adapter with my Synology NAS - paralelly with its gigabit port): - 2.5 Gbe: Club3D CAC-1420 USB 2.5GbE (Realtek RTL8156 ; maximum bandwidth: 280 MB/s) maybe required to install drivers in Qnap NAS devices, - 5 Gbe: QNAP QNA-UC5G1T USB 5GbE (Aquantia AQC111U ; maximum bandwidth around: 350 MB/s - because of USB3 limitations), there are other brands with this SOC as well, - 10 Gbe: QNAP QXG-10G2T-107 - or QXG-10G1T (Aquantia AQC107S ; PCIe bandwidth limitations will restrict the NAS 10GbE performance). Above the Celeron CPU NAS models You can achieve full 10 Gbe speed or more than 10 Gbe speed as well. Please note that fully utilizations of above mentioned speeds are available only in case if Your SSD/HDD arrays in NAS can handle these speeds. Of course from client side (e.g. Your PC) same network speeds and SSD performance are required to achieve these speed rates (of course multiple clients can easiliy saturate these speeds if they work paralelly in same time) ...
We used to use SAN but price-wise, read, costs became more & more ridiculous. But this channel is not about SAN and truly enterprise thus beyond the audience of this channel. We use both NAS & DAS, next to proprietary systems. For most users DAS is preferential, but we are also using a fair amount of NAS. Another benefit of NAS not mentioned here is backup-3-2-1, quite important when it regards content-editing. My 5 euro-cents.
Good day! I need an expert opinion! We have a small film production. We have an office and 4 Mac Studio in it. We want to install a NAS in the studio so that we can edit from it IN PARALLEL on all 4 computers, accessing the same volumes/files from several editing stations at the same time. We plan to make a local 10G network. I want to buy QNAP TVS-h1688X-W1250-32G for this purpose. But some sellers in stores assure me that this is an amateur level device and it will not allow mounting simultaneously from several mounting stations, and advise me to buy QSAN XCubeNAS XN8012R which in my opinion will not justify its money because it has weaker characteristics (we also do not have a server rack now). What do you advise in this case? I want to find the best solution for my money and not let my fellow editors down so that they don't suffer from bugs later.
You are completely confusing SAN and NAS and its use. You cannot collaboratively edit on a NAS or SAN without a Metadata controller. It is impossible for multiple users to edit without a Metadata controller. SAN is by far superior to a NAS system in terms of speed and infrastructure. Saying NAS is scalable is ridiculous except for high end system. Not to mention your perfomance platoes. Only few NAS manufacturers are scalable in terms of performance. SAN on the other hand is highly scalable, 32Gb fiber oriented and effective.

finally the information I needed .... I understand now why NAS is such a complicated and multilayered solution that is not for me
Hi

Thank you, that was really helpful. I'm currently binge watching your videos 😆

Do you still feel the same about ARM processors vs x86? (In Dec 2022)

Very educational. Many thanks for doing what you do. Still rocking two Synology 1513+'s, but they are grinding to a halt under the weight of 4k video.
What did you upgrade to?

Super helpful thanks so much!
Great content. Direct to the point. Thanks man.
We can use nas as das as well right?
Via any cable or something?
Does that mean the Nas on your table is good enough (and have enough drives) to use for editing?

This is great....my brain hurts...in a good way...I think...
Watch your pronunciation. On automatic subtitles, the plural of NAS is nazis. :-)
TELL ME ABOUT IT! ABSOLUTELY NIGHTMARE DEATH TRAP OF A SLIP...
