Just installed my DXP4800 Plus a couple of days ago. I went in this direction for the same ‘Apple Tax’ reason you and many others has outlined. it mates perfectly with my M4 Pro Mini with the 10GB option, both connected by a 10GB switch. Since everything in recent years has standardized on SSDs, I did have a concern about the slowness of a spinning NAS drive, even if they are Seagate Iron Wolf Peo drives. But when I installed two 1TB M.2 SSDs and configured on read/write cache, my concerns were put to rest. It’s only been a couple of days, but so far, loving it!!!
@ Which RAID have you found works best for you? I’m currently stupidly running four 4TB Iron Wolf Pro drives at RAID 0 which is synonymous ’Russian Roulette’…😳
Thanks for the followup Patrick. I opted for a 2TB external NVME drive, formatted exFAT so that I can share the storage across multiple drives and platforms. Not as elegant as your NAS setup, but it's doing the job.
Can’t tell ya how much footage over the years I’ve lost because I ran out of space and had to wipe the drive. I might just go this route 🤔 Maybe I could even create a hub for all those stacks of portable SSDs I’ve acquired over the years to go along with this.

NVME enclosures are fantastic for more modest space needs. Fast too!
Cool update. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Just purchased one, thanks 🙏🏼
Thank you! Cheers!
Hope you can get hold of the latest XReal One Pro for a review !
Ha! I'm actually schedule to see them at CES in Vegas in a few weeks. Watch this space :)

I've dumped them all on here and then backed it up.
Curious…what kind of cloud device are you backing up 49 TB of data to? A service? Another personal NAS at a different location?
Backblaze (nowhere near 49TB for now 😅)
What cloud source can I use to backup my NAS drives?
Hey man, Backblaze is good but Google drive does the job too!
I am looking at an ssd external hard drive. Aren’t that Naz systems expensive
They are as an initial investment. But they serve all your devices and can do so for many years.
