HPe was talking about a Windows-based NAS appliance they have. I'm glad to hear yours has run for a while. YOu have to have hardware on hand, and still then you need to put it to the test. But it is hard to tell product quality from info on a website. Want to try it as it does look quite interesting. Blue flashing button light of death within a few months? yes. I have used Synology DS412, DS912 elsewhere. I'm glad for your reply, especially your note on the reliability. Perhaps there are other NAS options you know of that might be a better option and I'd love to hear about them. So I'm hunting for a NAS that can provide the storage, archive,deduplication, but also the features for classifying, organizing, tagging media assets. My church has about 6-10 people on their team. It's just that the apps for media library management are clearly home user/SOHO in orrientation. I like the app extensibility of the device. I have worked with Synology DS412s before. Ideally, I'd like to find a NAS device that helps facilitate not just simple volume based storage (SMB, CIFS), but the organization and building of a "Media LIbrary".indexable searchable, etc. We've been using external Lightning drives and Dropbox and have our A/V assets scattered. Our shop mainly uses Macs for Video and A/V production. What I mean by this is features not simply for storage, but for indexing, tagging, keywording, multiple media types. I'm curious if those devices are feature rich enough to be considered for use for in a Professional Audio/Video production environment. I'm looking at putting in QNAP or Synology NAS devices. I work for a church that has about 15TB of unorganized media (MP4, RAW, JPG, AVI, MP3) files stacked in a couple of detachable LIghtning Port External Drives. For any of you using QNAP or Synology, looking for advice.
