I rarely comment on any video here on YouTube but that was insane Super informative It answered all the questions in my mind about how I should setup a NAS system of my own Thank you Alex 🙏
Comment from : Mahdi Sadeghi

Do you always need to be connected to the qnap mothership? Ie do you need to connect to the qnap cloud servers?
Comment from : doveshouse

I dont think ssd caching have any impact at all on sequential data transfer speed as mentioned at the end
Comment from : A

Well explained - thanks Alex! Would love to see a more detailed view on your file/ structure and Davinci workflow using the NAS storage if that's possible and worth sharing for you (?)

How many Playstation games can it hold?
Comment from : Dragozard

can this be a good setup for gaming too? or more in video setup
Comment from : ZXStormRider

Greatly done and many tips help demistify things a bitbrQuick questions: Why didn't you opt for the nvme drives for ssd caching? Aren't these the ones that are supposed to be the fastest drives in order to avoid bottlenecks? Active project could possibly be on your macbook pro drive too?brAnd after a considerable amount of time, from your experience is this NAS still a good buy today, or is the low end (by today's standards) processor a limiting factor that could create bottlenecks for 4K editing?brThanks a lot for your kind replies I 'm considering this NAS too, since the QNAP TVS-h874X is significantly pricier
Comment from : Kostas Petsas

Have you ever measured the dB sound level for the QNAP?

What was the total cost of the whole thing?
Comment from : The Teeslanger

So what's the cheap version of this?

I actually came across this video because of looking at my own setup I like to make some compositions of my travels Mostly video's of hikes or other explorations So it mostly get big filesbrAfter a trip or vacation I always upload everything to my laptop and NAS My PC to work with the files for editing (should give the fastest/safest responses, and least rendering time) And my NAS for having it backed up (mostly also make another backup on an external HDD to keep it extra safe)brbrBut after finishing editing I mostly remove it from my laptop to preserve space (and to work on other video's or projects) And also use my laptop not only for video editing, so other apps also need it's spacebrbrI had to re-edit a few video's lately, and I first was thinking about transfering the needed dirs to my laptop again before starting re-editing But removing files to copy new ones just to re-edit some premade projects is quite a hustle especially because it are already finished projects and I only need to re-render/export again after a few little modificationsbrbrSo I actually just started to work straight from my NAS (wired), since the files are already locally stored there It just seems to work fine, and maybe the render times are a bit longer instead of working directly with the files from my laptop But I don't seem to see noteworthy problems (also only using 1080p files wit a bitrate of 25K, so it's not a massive dataload neither)brbrBut now I was reading the manual of my editing software again, and they strongly recommend not to work from network drives (NAS) But I actually don't seem to notice quality problems, drastic speed drops, errors etc in the exported/rendered projects/video'sbrSo I went searching Google "why" To find out why they strongly recommend not to use NAS servers etc Can't find much about it though And besides transfers speeds or connection drops I could not think about much other possible problems Especially not since I'm also pre-rendering all the clips because of my system specs So everything should be rendered locally to my laptop before playback or exportbrbrBut good to see that editing/ working from network drives/ NAS is more common
Comment from : Rockel83

There are much better NAS's than that Look at the TrueNAS machines, but of course you won't get a commission for shilling those to your audience, rofl

how is the qnap 10gbe adapter holding up? was hearing that it get really hot? is it stable? did you try the caldigit 10g adapter?
Comment from : Mike Ostrovljanovic

Hey just an FYI, youre not using RAID, your using ZFSbrbrZfs is phenomenal, its not RAIDbrbrAlso, i would put your OS on a mirrored array of the 2 sata ssds (because any apps or os software you hse will be loaded into ram anyways, sata ssds are more than fast enough; mirroring will give you double the read iops while allowing scrubs to actually repair bad data)brbrThe u2 ssds should be used as an l2 arc (and potentially zil/slog)brbrYou can mirror or stripe the u2 drives before adding them as the l2 arc (if you want) brbrUsing the u2 drives will work to accelerate your editing far better and more efficiently than a sata ssd wouldbrbrThe iops will be better by 10-100x vs sata ssdsbrbrZfs uses ram as first cache layer, so add as much ram as possible (as you can afford, or fit into the machine)brbrL2ARC is an optional secondary caching layer after the ARC (in ram) if possible, replace the nvme u2 drives with 980GB optane u2 drives and definitely use them for your l2arcbrbrThis will help you a lot

Why not use a Mac Pro and put all the drives inside a Mac Pro or a PC case and use Windows instead?
Comment from : Asaf Blasberg Videographer

Well done!

I wonder whether this setup can double as a media streaming server ie jellyfin

Comment from : VideoEditingPro

Hi Alex, I'm setting up the same NAS Are you connecting with iSCSI initiator - if so, can I ask which one? Shocked to discover in another video that MacOS does not include one creatives use Macs I'm told but how do they connect to their LUNs????!!!
Comment from : Andrew Wright

This is great to see, thanks Alex I've been running a TS-453BT3 over 10GBe for a few years, but it's not really been up to video editing Adding an M2 nvme cache has helped a lot, but as I now need to expand storage further, I'd been looking at the TVS-672XT However, I hadn't seen the TS-h973AX and think it suits my need better Nice one 👍brI really like that it has SATA SSD and nvme slots Are you setting your SSDs in a RAID 1 for the operating system I wonder? On my current set up (RAID 5) the OS is so sluggish on the TS-453BT3, I really want something that's snappy
Comment from : Alzibaba

I have had nothing but trouble with our QNAP TVS-h1688X File transfers are blazingly fast, but editing from resolve on it is painfully slow when using image sequence files (DPX or TIFF) Have been trying to get it to work properly for months Running over 10GB or Thunderbolt has the same issue
Comment from : Laser Man

Can I have an editor working remotely work on the drive?
Comment from : Jesse Fitton

This is a $4200 investment If you make good money with your business it's a good storage and network solution But if you're starting it might be a little overkill 😂
Comment from : Rom Dunn

Aren’t you woried about QNAP security?
Comment from : Jennifer Media

This is just overpriced shite
Comment from : Marius S

Hi Alex, amazing video! I work with Komodo footage and your workflow looks amazing! There are also a 932px model that looks like very similar but cheap Why you didn't choose this model? Thanks!

Comment from : Nate In Yo State

Now that 10gbit is standard for some Macs and PCs and adapters are inexpensive the need for DASD is going down Also, they are not changing the prices Clearly and NVME drive like a Sabrent is way faster and super cheap
Comment from : Jaime Duncan

Thanks Looks very interesting and confusing 😀

Comment from : Kevin George

EXCELLENT information! Would you still buy the same Qnap NAS today in january 2023? Or is there a newer version?
Comment from : Jon Rawlinson

Alex, thank you for sharing your experience with your NAS setup for video editing So well done!!! I have few questions though 1 You had to use a QNAP 10gb adapter to connect your MBP Doesn't your MBP have 10GB built in, not understanding why you needed the adapter 2 Are you concerned at all about using a QNAP branded NAS vs Synology given the problems with ransomeware problems with QNAP Perhaps you dont have any external access to your NAS via the internet? Thanks again for this video, so much good information!!!
Comment from : Robert Mariani

what are you using for a network switch?
Comment from : chillywilson

How do you edit 4k, or 8k footage from a black magic on regular SATA? The max speed is 500-600mbs read / write MAXIMUM! Unlike the u2 or m2 NVME SSD that can go 2800mbs in a enclosure such as the OWC 4m2 , it’s not a NAS but it’s still faster editing , your not sitting there with the computer trying to write key frames etc ? Plz explain to me how tf your editing off of this , even if you said it Max out at 160mbs WTF is this! I tried to edit off a regular HDD that’s 500mbs read n write n it’s not worth it
Comment from : WooDe

Alex, I’m new but now subscribe The information you’ve imparted here is impressive, but not only that, you’re very clear and concise in a educative way Just wanted to say thanks watching this video was a big help and just what i’ve been looking for 👏👍
Comment from : Andrew Michael

Your mic is too big
Comment from : MediaproducerCH

I just splashed loads of cash on buying the same system, I set everything up properly, the system and video files are on the NVMEs, cache acceleration is enabled, and I am using the new fully maxed out MacBook pro max but I can't play back an HD file on an HD timeline from the NAS
Comment from : Kristóf Kollár

It's been a while since you uploaded this, so I'd like to know have you had any security/ransomware issues with your QNAP and would you still recommend it today? Or would you go with Synology?
Comment from : B Lamont

Hi Alex! Great video my friend! Any chance you can point to a video that helped you with setting up the NAS like you have?
Comment from : Samuel Rivera

Can I just simply use the USB C port to connect the nas to my macbook? Is it only 6 gbps? Also should the 5 HDDs not be fast enough to edit on when it RAID 5?
Comment from : VIVID MOTION

IOmeter tests?
Comment from : Maxim Veremeev

Thanks for this, what's your thought with "QNAP TS-1273U-RP" for 2 X 4k simultaneous video editing ?

Comment from : akurenda1985

hey, I used this video as a guide for my NAS setup, thank you SO much for making this I only have 2 12TB HDs and one 1TB sata III, am still waiting on the nvme drives, but when I ran the disk speed of the nas using Blackmagic disk speed test, it is only reaching up to 35mbps when plugged into ethernet and 1mgps when I try to access it remotely I have opened a ticket with QNAP but am wondering if I am missing something or if you have any tips? My network is 1gbps and am able to confirm those speeds with my MacBook Pro
Comment from : Daph

Thanks! How are you handling offsite backups? Great video
Comment from : Whats Up With Six

can you do a set up video pleaseeeee
Comment from : Jennifer Media

Hello, thank you for the video - just curious to know with this QNAP br 4 16tb HDD br 2 Western Digital Ultrastar DC SN640 25" 960GB PCI Express 30 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive br2 1tb SSD br would I be able to edit 5tb of 4k footage directly from the nas? Thank you
Comment from : Mark DeBonis

Hey Mate, brbrPurchased almost the exact set up that you have!brbrDo you have a network switch which acts as a hub, and your NAS, wifi router, and macbook all plug into?
Comment from : Rogue Media

Great video Hybrid nas nice! That seems to be the ticket to editing straight from a NAS

great video, all around!
Comment from : Nik Ferrari

The video I've been looking for Thank you!
Comment from : John Sekhar

Thanks for the excellent overview I picked one up on ebay open box unused for $ 500 and Populated it with refurbished Western Digital 14TB Ultrastar DC HC530 SATA HDD - 7200 RPM Class, SATA OEM drives for $150 because they're actually Hitachi server drives that last forever and for me it's better to have the drives last than the warranty I also I also got 12 TB the Mvne SSD drives used for half price and Cheaper SSDs that test out with better performance specs than the red ones just because I''m upgrading the memory to 16GB Waiting for my switch next, Other than that I'm Basically mirrioring Alex's setup though I use a PC not a Mac so we'll see how it all goes Thanks Again

I've been targeting DYI NAS with ZFS, but if this have full ZFS it's my way to gobrbrDo you got SSD caching on NVMe drives or SATA SSD drives?
Comment from : JoAT Tech

Is there any reason why the U2 adapted NVMe drives I have loaded in the correct slots would be slower than the 5x Ironwolf 18TB drives in RAID 5 in the other bays? I'm at my wits end trying to optimize this in the way you have it here since I want to use this for editing just like you do

dude is it a true 60tb or is it raided?

Great video You are crazy for shooting this at 50 fps way unnecessary for talking heads, 24 frames a second will be fine and save you tons of data
Comment from : Sony Finishing

I bought every item you suggested - I am now in a deathmarch with qnap because 2 of my HDDs are not being recognized at install Right now I have a $4000 paperweight - I like your content but this one is a disaster

This is the best review of this NAS model
Comment from : Brad Studio

@9:45 “the 10gig port was a deal-breaker” Is it just me or does this generation not know what the words “deal” and “breaker” mean? Is this guy trying to say that having 10gig broke the value of the device (deal-breaking) or is he trying to say it is actually valuable? brbrI’ve noticed this trend, and it’s always tech review nerds saying it
Comment from : bill gates

Can you send files to clients from the NAS? Like you can on synology?
Comment from : Diamond 9 Productions

How does this compare to The Black Magic Tower Storage and Cloud System? I am thinking that this plus a pod would be better than a BM tower
Comment from : Timotheos Enterprises Media

Alex, so do you have 3 storage pools total: 1 System Storage 2 Main Pool (with 5 -12TB drives) 3 SSD Caching? Are you only putting cache files on that last pool? Did you configure the cache pool as Raid 1? Thank you in advance for your time!
Comment from : BP Video+

Hi @Alex Pettitt brbrQuestion brCan you use U2 SSD enclosures with Gen 4 NVME Drives inside of them for the U2 1&2 bays, or should I only buy U2 drives?
Comment from : Kwauri King

Few questions from a Newbie brIs a NAS needed for any video editor working alone and does not have to share files with anyone? brCant the same drives be added to a high end PCs and wont it be faster than a NAS ?
Comment from : Michael

for the 10 GB connection, I only have access to 1 GB internet from my provider Does that make the 10 gb port useless? Or does using the 10 gb port into a 10 gb adaptor on my macbook make the local transfer speeds better, too? I really am just looking for a storage solution for high speed, local project workflow as a video editor The network attachments is really just an bonus in my case
Comment from : Ryan Sheldon

Hi Alex, do you know if the QNAP TVS-672XT 6-Bay Thunderbolt will work on Windows 10 (using the Thunderbolt connection)? I'm seeing conflicting info about it
Comment from : BP Video+

Awesome video Exactly what I needed to know Unfortunately, everything is sold out
Comment from : 731 Woodworks

Hi Alex! How do you change the default connection to 10G instead of the 1G?
Comment from : Cinefix Tutorials

We use the tvs-672xt with ssd cache and we get over 1500 and 800 speed Does thunderbolt really that much faster speeds?
