At her current rate of use she's doing like 1tb a month or so. She's deleting a lot that would like to be saved, there's also a high likely hood of getting a second editor in as well. I liked the idea of a Das so she could theoretically edit straight off of the array, but that likely won't work when another editor comes on. Unless there's such thing as a multi connection Das. Her router setup isn't close though and can't be moved so connection to a NAS would have to be done through Wifi. Im just not exactly sure what the best route is, to me a nice nas with a few drive bays would be good with the possibility of extra being added later on but then she'd have to be well controlled and move the current project onto her editing machine and then off again when finished. If that's the best solution it'll just have to be that way I guess.

Thank you for that! I did look into the idea of a DAS, if we did what you suggest of attaching the das to an old Mac effectively making it into a NAS that would be handy down the road. Do any of them support easy expansion later on? I can easily see my friend filling the capacity of a few drives and want to add in more later on.

Hey all, I'm trying to help out a mate whos running a small business, she needs a nas setup that can hold large amounts of data, and expandable with a bit of redundancy, files are all for videos as she does a lot of video editing, these synology boxes seem like a decent setup although maybe a bit overkilll considering they're more meant for a mutli user setup, if she ran windows that would make it a lot easier for me to understand, but how do they go with macOS use? Are they able to be connected directly to system at all? Their marketing material isnt the best... The system im looking at: DS1621+ https://www.scorptec.com.au/bundle/nas/5-8-bays/1495-bdl-1495

The power supply is a CS750M, and there was water all in the socket and running down the board while it was powered on I guess I need a new board then, hopefully nothing else is dead...

It's a 750 watt corsair unit

So my computer keeps restarting constantly, it doesn't reach the bios, just keeps power cycling itself, recently my closed loop water cooler decided it didn't want to be closed loop anymore and there was water in the socket and running down the board. It just let me into the bios but it's gone all weird and won't let me move the cursor. Everything is seated properly. Is my motherboard dying or is it something else? My specs if they matter are: I7-4820k X79-ud3 16gb Kingston ram Gtx 970

Do these places do phone screen repair? I'm sure you can make a fortune on fixing I devices screens, they are so popular and easy to break the screens on it you could definitely run a shop that only does that and there are shops that do this and seem to be trucking along fine

So a very large highly regarded engineering company I visited once ran their entire business off iMacs, every single person, cad designers, accounts, receptionist whoever they all had them. I bought a MacBook pro, best decision ever I love it, re sell value on a Macintosh is insane, my friend has almost a 10 year old Apple laptop, runs honestly just as good as the day he bought it, when he chooses to sell it will still be worth actual money, this iMac would be amazing for my school, kiting out classrooms with them would be far cheaper, they will do everything that is required of them, light photo and video editing just fine and will still maintain there value throughout there lifecycle.
