Hey there! I’m looking at building a sensible storage solution for myself as Videographer. This would be archive storage so to speak, meaning I would not often need to access the footage regularly, just move footage and edit files onto it for hoarding and Safe keeping just in case! At the moment I’m looking at:
Asustor Nimbustor 4 AS5304T 4 Bay NAS
To start with I would add 2x WD Red Pro 8TB Drives in RAID 1 to give me 8TB usable. I believe this I’d easy to in the asustor software?
Later down the line I’d then look to add the other 2 drives for more capacity.
Is this a logical solution? Do you have recommendations? Is this user-friendly for a first NAS?
Thanks!
Searching for a simliar set up myself but one important aspect is file management. I was able to copy only the used clips in my projects via davinci resolve and it cut down a lot of projects by 1/5th.
Great way to only save the parts of raw video clips actually in your timeline
