Asked by: Frank
There are many factors that affect data rates of a given NAS setup. The Synology 60TB DiskStation DS1522+ 5-Bay NAS Enclosure Kit with Seagate IronWolf NAS Drives' (5 x 12TB) data rate will depend on the RAID format you choose, the speed of your network switch, possibly your internet speeds if accessing remotely via the internet, if you add a network card to the switch, the drive's speed, the number of people accessing the NAS at a given time, the added M.2 drives/RAM, and the network connection speed of the computer that you are accessing the NAS from. All parts of the network must be up to speed to support a given data rate.

Is this good to use it on video editing or only to store things ?
Asked by: Mohammed
This is heavily dependent on the resolution and size of the video content. If it's smaller 1080 projects the Synology 60TB DiskStation DS1522+ 5-Bay NAS Enclosure Kit with Seagate IronWolf NAS Drives (5 x 12TB) could work if the content is compressed. However if you would like to work on larger codecs or resolution. I would recommend the QNAP 8 Bay Thunderbolt 3 NAS With 56TB Storage (Preconfigured In Raid 5) (QNTVS872XT88) due to the Thunderbolt direct connection.

I found it really hard to look for footage inside the nas because it’s slow, what should I do to increase the speed? Already installed two fast nvme.
Asked by: Mohammed
NAS performance can be linked to many factors, such as drive speed, the type of RAID you are using, and the speed of your local network. If you have your DS1522+ configured in RAID 1 or JBOD, consider using a faster configuration such as RAID 0 or 5. If the NAS is connected to a network switch, make sure that it is using a gigabit port. If it is connected directly to your router, make sure that your local network is operating with appropriate speed and bandwidth and that the computer you use for editing is using a wired Ethernet connection instead of WiFi.
