Thanks for the video, my wd passes just started to filling up, and now you confirmed of what solution I need.
Glad I could help!
Great information. I have been using a Qnap DAS for the last year and love it. When I travel, it goes in my fireproof safe because it is so compact. Currently I have a 48 TB DAS on RAID 5 so a 24 TB striped. I back up my photo and video files to another portable hard drive, but that is getting a bit tight. I will have to look into another backup solution in the near future. Love watching your Alaska footage.
very cool
Thanks for the video. Just a note on SanDisk SSD I recently had an issue with the 4TB SanDisk SSD. I lost data on me a few times. Others have the same issue so I would be careful about buying these 4TB SanDisk drives. I have the Synology NAS which works out pretty well but it is a bit slow compared to what Thunderbolt would be. I may have to look into the enclosure you mention in the video.
There hasn't been any issues with the 1 or 2TB Sandisk Extreme 2 SSD's.
Ans yes NAS will be bottlenecked by the speed of your network. To get the best out of NAS you need a 10GBE NAS and your home network needs to be 10GBE also and connecting to your pc with an ethernet cable.
This is at least the 3rd time I’ve watched this great video. I keep finding more nuggets of information 😂 One question though, is there any particular reason you used the TerraMaster RAID software over using the Apple’s native Disk Utility? It seems safer to me use the Apple solution as you know it’ll always be able to read it and you don’t need about 3rd party software either not working or them starting to charge you to use it (I’m thinking OWC here).
The RAID Software is to set your raid level and create the physical drive. the Apple disk utility is used AFTER that. The raid is the physical drive itself (hardware level) once its set then any machine can read it
Great Video. Great info. Thanks. Only wish those 8TB Ironwolf drives were as cheap here in Ireland. Best price I can find here is €190 each!
Yesterday they were on Amazon $129 US. I have a link in the description. The whole different country markups/conversion rates etc confuse me ;)
@@ER-jk6lv no. the 3 will be the consolidated drive. to add 2 more your would need to wipe out the array to recoil with the new drives
Thanks for the info. Love your channel.
Been wanting one of these forever.. cant do this 100 separate hdd’s anymore lol
LOL. yes I always would get lost trying to find which drive had what
Hey I was curious is this was still working good for you and if you’ve had any issues with it? I’ve been looking into getting one myself I just have the m2 MacBook Pro and I’m not sure if it’ll work or not
its my daily data storage. After you configure it, it is just like any external drive you attach to your MacBook.
I'm going to have to pick this up. $1300 is wayyy cheaper than I'd expect to pay for this level of storage. Are your 8TBs SSD or HDD?
HDD. There's links to the enclosure and HDD's in the description. Having all that storage on one connection is so much better a workflow.
can you backup you das with BlackBlaze?
Yes. DAS backup is a flat $10 a month. NAS would be priced per TB. Much cheaper for DAS
Sorry but I thought this was a video on external storage not ethernet technology for a comms expert. In the UK some are lucky to get 10mb broadband, I don't think you can get 1gig as a domestic user. You have forgotten that most of your viewers are either amateur or novice photographer's, besides high broadband has nothing to do with data transfer between wired devices, only cloud or off site storage, you mentioned ssd drives for a few seconds, throwing them on the desk after flashing them up on screen, then went on for most of the video on ethernet technology way outside most people's interest.. only one sentence of approx 10 seconds was of interest, the samsung drive connection being poor, sorry mate but you lost it on this one.
Did you make it to the DAS solution? this is where for what your discussing is probably your solution as mine.
Broadband has nothing to do with any of these solutions, rather it is your home network speeds (your router).
I discussed the ethernet speeds of 1, 2.5, and 10 GBE as I have talked to a lot of folks who were not happy with their NAS setup for speed. So this discussion lets then and others know why they are not getting good enough speeds to transfer data or editing speeds needed. And most expected to use their home wifi to use data for editing and the speeds again are too slow.
Hence using a DAS usb-c /thunderbolt connection to the raid high TB device for 50-1000 mb/s .
hope this helps some. Understanding the speeds you need in your home network to edit helps in what external storage to use. options ;)
Thanks for the reply and info on you experience with the info and video.
