Top 3 Video Editing NAS of 2018

Best NAS for Video Editing 4K and 1080p IN 2018 https://nascompares.com/best-video-editing-nas-to-buy-of-2018/ Digital media has reached a point in 2018 where file size is truly staggering. 1080p and 4K Media arriving at hundreds or indeed thousands of gigabytes over time are just the start of it. With 5k monitors becoming increasingly available, plus dynamic range and depth of video media getting heavier with every big blockbuster release, the need for video editors looking for a robust and reliable storage device for current and archive projects has never been more important. The perfect NAS to buy during Black Friday 2018 for video editors is more than just sheer large capacity, and in fact, speed is everything. In order for a successful videographer to create the perfect work time and time again using external storage, they need reliable speeds for their chosen software to edit effectively. Simple network storage devices utilising 1Gbe are nowhere near fast enough to allow modern video editors to work remotely and in order to facilitate this kind of environment we need to look at 10Gbe, 40Gbe and thunderbolt 3 solutions in NAS. NAS servers that are designed with video editing in mind can be exceptionally expensive. The majority of this spending goes toward the faster and more reliable connection speed they offer. Other factors such as available storage capacity and chosen CPU play their part, but generally, it is maximum speed internally and externally that defines the perfect video editing NAS drive. The perfect NAS for video editing that will ensure high performance through the post-production and distribution should feature the following: A fast file handling CPU that will be able to cope with consistent and high file volumes Media assisted internal file operations that tier storage across specialised volume and thereby achieve significantly higher individual operations (IOPS) Setup and forget architecture, so that videographers can focus on producing content and not constantly playing with their NAS storage solution Fast external connectivity, meaning that internal speeds are not bottlenecked by low external speeds. Support for popular editing software tools such as DaVinci Resolve, PowerDirector, Final Cut Pro and Photoshop support of NLE (non-linear editing) which lets connected video editors not risk losing original copies of content when editing on the fly Fast and fluid access via the internet, network and for supported devices that are desktop or mobile in architecture Configurable structures of Users groups, Admins, Guests and user account control (UAC) that can be easily configured or changed upon request Fast and reliable support of RAID, Cloud support and local backups The perfect NAS for video editing should feature all of these functions. I have seen and used hundreds of devices in 2018 and below are the top 3 NAS of the year for content creators who want to take their storage seriously and professionally.
