Hi Community –
I wanted your thoughts on direction of travel, based on my needs, as I can't make up my mind...
I've started a tiny YouTube channel with 4K footage, with my MacPro (Late 2013 model; Trashcan) being absolutely maxxed out.
I thought to buy some external SSDs to edit footage via Final Cut Pro with the Library either on each SSD or on the Mac. However, I feel that this is a high-risk business with no redundancy. My ideal scenario would have been to take all footage from various SSDs and cameras, copy them into a NAS that could connect via Thunderbolt to my Mac, edit the footage via SMB and when I finish, back-up the projects to Backblaze. Also, running my own NextCloud seems VERY appealing.
Has my logic any major flaws? If not, what kind of build should I be looking towards? I don't think I'll need more than 12-24TBs at this early stage, but I'm interested in expanding. Thoughts?
