I’m doing a research for a client and I’m looking for storage recommendations for a photo a studio archive.
We are photographing a 120GB per day x 80 days a year, I was looking for something like the LaCie 12big but also with Network support
Qnap has created NAS doing exactly what you need. The TVS-1282T3 is not only a NAS but also a Thunderbolt DAS with 4 direct connections. But it gets even better. The built-in 10GbE connections will let users access the storage at the same speed as they would over Thunderbolt. But this time it can be done not just in 10meter radius but 100 (or even further with sfp+ card). Why is this NAS so amazing? It is not only a cold storage solution but also can be used as a storage drive for live editing. It allows you to create an ISCSI connection which tricks all editing software appearing as a new physical drive on a computer. But that is not the best part. It supports auto-tiering. This automatically in the background will move most often used data on SSD drives and less often accessed data on regular hard drives. The functionality increases data transfer speeds massively.
