Can someone give me some good ideas for a good NAS array that will be used for video editing? My budget is 400-$500. There are different demand on transfer rate with SD, HD, FinalCut, Premire, Sony Vega. Of course the HD are more demanding. For SD any NAS can do 30MB/s that will work For HD with FC using ProRes then 80MB/s will work. Note: GbE NIC can be 20MB to 100MB/s depend on your NAS.
If you're looking for a hard drive that not only offers a good chunk of space but can reach a read speed of up to 160MB/s, you might want to check out this Seagate 4TB drive. Besides the massive amounts of space, it comes with an additional 200GB in cloud storage that can be easily accessed by your iPhone or iPad via an iOS app.
2x GbE NIC bondng can be 45 to 200MB/s+ I need to know what you need 1st. BTW SSD in NAS does not help much for speed. I have some lacie drives I use to store my footage on. I don't edit or anything on them, they are simply used as a housing for all the footage. I have two of the Big Laci drives.
The two both serve as duplicate backups. Speed isn't they key on them. I actually read that exact same article earlier in the week. Ideally I would like a NAS setup. But it seems USB 3.0 speeds get around 210-220 mb/s.
The USB 3 is nice but I want the capability to pull footage via Cat 5. Is there an ideal system that would be able to meet what I'm looking for?

Ok, that answers a lot of questions. I've been video editing for years but am in the process of upgrading to a higher tier in post production. I use Adobe CC products for everything. I shoot with the Canon 1D C using the Ninja 2 SSD recorder, which records uncompressed 10 bit HD video 220 mb/s. My end products will either be played online or at a major church.
I just want to be able to edit video from a NAS over Cat 5. I'm experienced at networking but new to the NAS type of systems. I would get it, but make sure, you can return it it does not work. I hear mix reviews about Drobo. Some said good other said slow. But I have a suggestion.
Why dont you have 2x SSD like evey1 in this post suggest and get a massive external storage for holding data/back up these will give you a speed that can handle full 1080p and maybe even 4K.
