I recently ventured into using a NAS for the first time. Knowing that access speed can be an issue, I spent a lot of time researching options. Went with QNAP specifically because it offered direct connection to my MBP M1 via Thunderbolt 3. Turned out to be a good choice. The 5G stress setting using BlackMagic's Disk Speed Test on a NAS share via TB3 yielded approx 1990 MB/s read & over 540 MB/s write, and this is without any supporting NVMe cacheing. Issue right now the latest ver of LR has an acknowledged bug where attempting to back up your catalog to a NAS will fail. Adobe will get it fixed but I won't upgrade until it happens. ...Show more →
Matt, which QNAP did you get, and which HDs?
I'm currently using 2 NAS boxes from Synology but have had 2 power supplies die (not uncommon from a Google search). They have been great though, both times the box was switched out immediately, the 1st they extended my warranty, the 2nd time was done out of warranty. No issue with the Raid 5 drive volume after plugging drives into the replacement boxes (both refurbs).
Nevertheless when I think the drives in that box are long in tooth I will look at replacing it (rather than just the drives).
Thanks
Mike
