Great video! I've actually been looking at a storage solution just like this, because like you I've got sooo much raw video to cut down for editing. PS as a mechanic I have serious toolbox envy.
I got a Zigbee stick that I tried updating the firmware on to also work with Matter & Threads, but that didn't work. Zigbee works but I'm still not setup properly with Matter. I'm gonna have to give in and get a Home Pod most likely. Here is the Zigbee stick I tried: amzn.to/4jlh94b
Great vid. I strongly recommend a 7th drive as a hot spare. I went about a year without a hot spare in my NAS when suddenly one of my 1yr old drives failed while I was on a business trip. It was a stressful couple of days till I got home and was able to put in a new drive. Sure critical data is backed up offsite nightly but the potential of disrupting my my wife's workflow is something I would rather avoid.
That is a perfect example of why I should put in a Hot Spare. Thank you for that! I couldn't come up with too strong of a reason, but traveling and having a drive fail while I cannot get to things, I too would stress about that. Thanks!
enable jumbo frames; get better SSD's (enterprise grade); use a better RAID configuration; cat6 short residential runs should get very close to theoretical maximum speed on 10Gbe (I can't speak directly regarding this NAS, but with the proper hardware you can achieve significantly greater speeds)
Yes, if I switched around to a TrueNAS setup and spent a bit I'm certain I could do better. I have no doubt about that. At the moment though, this is an affordable option to keep me rolling. What you just described would easily cost me multiple times what this did just in drives. (I debated my path heavily before this move.) Thanks for the input all the same. I have no doubt I'll follow it at some point.
I had hoped for more, but the real world limit of 10Gb networking isn't very far above that. Transfers to the NAS aren't as quick as I'd hoped but working off of it has been smooth, which was always my primary concern.
@@MandicReally Sata Interface & the NAS CPU Hardware also at play, but as stated, you're just about at that networking cieling, either way it does what it says on the box.
@@MandicReally I can write at 1.05GB/s sustained and read at 1.15GB/s sustained over 10GBe to a RAIDZ-1 array (not using the demonstrated hardware); there should be room for improvement
Alan I’ve decided you are my spirit animal 🦔…all your videos directly help me out with my process and filming!
Video came out great dude, good work! Glad it's working good for the editing!

What did you uses to fix your Zigbby network.

@ Thank you. Your videos are amazing.
Am I off, or is the sound mix really heavy in the right?

At work my crew put plexi-glass sheets in the doors of the racks with mesh fronts. That made them a lot quieter.
Given how many ssds are in that thing the file transfer performance is pretty terrible, barely more than a single sata ssd would do
