suitable NAS?

[BenoitWW]

hey guys, this is one of the many areas I'm not very knowledgable in. I'm about to set up 2 video editing computers for a client. I was originally just giving each their own storage, but sharing files was mentioned by my client. Is there an appropriate NAS I can build/buy that would allow constant read/write from 2 computers?

Id probably use internal storage. Cheaper and simpler.

 

If you want good performance from a nas, you really need 10 gig, and a full proper setup with a premade nas is about 5k for the whole setup. If you want to diy, you could get under 2k with drives, but its still a pain.

I dont know what benefit you would get with a NAS for just two devices. You would be adding the cost of extra drives and hardware but you won't get better performance than just regular windows folder sharing between 2 computers. You should be getting them a good backup solution. USB backup drives will be more cost effective, practical, and faster than NAS. Plus you can take the USB drives home at the end of the day
