My Lightroom catalog is on my M1 Max MBP, but I do all my editing over 10GbE with my files on a QNAP NAS (RAID 6 with a hot spare). I also backup my NAS to iDrive, a single drive (24TB) QNAP device local, and then another single drive (24TB) QNAP at my parents.

Not blindingly fast, but I do okay with it.
