Approaching The Scene 236: Using A 10Gbe Synology NAS For Photo/Video Storage

(LINKS BELOW): Upgrading my storage to a Synology NAS system with 10Gbe ethernet has been incredible. Now I have 10s of terabytes of data flowing between my computers at up to a Gigabyte per second! Not only can I edit big photos, but I can video edit off this huge drive. In this in depth video I’ll share why I think this investment is worth it and how to set it up from taking it out of the box to moving your data onto the new system.
