If you work with 4K video and need shared storage that doesn't waste your time, the QNAP TVS-h874 might be what you're looking for. This high-performance NAS integrates 12th generation Intel Core processors, allowing it to handle multiple simultaneous editing streams without bottlenecks. It's not just a simple network hard drive; it's designed for post-production teams that need speed and stability in collaborative environments.
Specifications and connectivity for demanding workflows 🚀
The TVS-h874 mounts up to an Intel Core i9-12900 with 16 cores, support for ECC DDR4, and two M.2 NVMe slots for cache or high-speed storage. It offers 2.5GbE connectivity as standard, with the option to expand to 10GbE or 25GbE via PCIe cards. Its QuTS hero operating system with ZFS provides inline compression, deduplication, and snapshots. In practical tests, it achieves sequential reads exceeding 3,500 MB/s with SSDs in RAID 0, enough to edit multiple layers of 4K ProRes video without stuttering.
When your NAS is faster than your video editor 😅
The funny thing is that this NAS can process data faster than some editors make decisions. While you hesitate between a cut and a fade, the TVS-h874 has already cached the entire project. That said, if your network is 1GbE, you'll have a Ferrari parked in a village garage. Better invest in a decent switch before the NAS looks at you with disappointment.
