Hi
I'm a photographer based in India. We run a small business that adds 3/4 tb of data every year to our library. We already have well built workstations which cater to most of the processor heavy work and also have reasonable storage of their own (4/5 tb internal).
This is where I need some help. We've been wanting to setup a very basic NAS system which (1) provides us with cheap storage (2) has a capacity of atleast 12tb (18 would be better)
Workflow wise, every editor would be copying the data from the NAS to their own workstation every time they edit, so the NAS will never be overburdened by too many I/Os at one time. Could someone suggest a basic build for our requirement. Don't need model numbers et al (because sometimes exact model numbers are not available here). Something like xx sata port mini itx mobo, xx gb ram, xx cpu, xx cooling would suffice.
Thanks so much for taking the time out for reading this.
Regards
