Situation looks like from two separated QNAP's with 6 HDD in raid5, and often from one of them
2 editing stations (Avid)
maybe more in near future from one separated QNAP's with 6 HDD in raid5
3 stations for graphics (Premiere and After Effects)
2-4 freelancers over FTP
4-6 clients downloading from FTP
files uploading from NAS to FTP for color correction
The problem is that it all happens almost simultaneously. And number of editing stations will only grow
I see solution in custom build machine with bunch of SSD to hold all projects in work and back all staff every night.
For now 1GB lan isn't bottleneck its speed of storage that can't handle such number of simultaneous requests.
