I am looking for a nas for one person usage. I do not care if it is desktop NAS or rack mount nas. I wanted to have a fast connection, so I am looking for 10 Gbit/s. As I understand, I cannot run link aggregation on Windows (at my PC). I would like to have posibility to store footage from D850/gopro/drone. I do not know if editing files from nas is smart. I want to have set up automatic backups from both windows and Linux. If that is possible also from iPhone. I would like to run Plex server (or other media server), which can stream 4K, at least in local network. I would like to have opportunity to expand that unit in the future with expansion units.
You could consider getting Qnap x53B series (2/4/6 by). It comes with a PCIe slot for a 10GbE port card. It also features an HDMI port for smooth 4K streaming. If you ever do decide to stream remotely it will also transcode 4K using Video Station app. But you can also install Plex and stream locally with no problems. Link aggregation on a PC requires Pro Windows edition otherwise you can not. But single 10G port will be fast enough for quick file transfers. You could also do some editing straight from the box using an ISCSI function to trick your PC that this is a new HDD inside the computer.
You can easily set up automatic multi-platform backups. You can even back up your cloud platforms like Dropbox and others. If you run out of space there is expansion available four doubling your storage.
