New territory for me, but considering a move to a NAS for film storage. Got a few questions and any pointers appreciated.
Done properly, is it as reliable as a disk?
I can't be doing with blocky blacks due to bit rate, buffering or audio sync issues.
Can I buy something like a 4 bay NAS but just buy one or two drives and add as I need more space?
Backups - If I have use a usb harddrive as backup, is this as simple as backing up and copying the files or does it require something more complex?
If you run space, can you expand the NAS? I read that if you put the drives in to another NAS it'll reformat them. Or do you have to start over and copy everything from a backup?
Am I better sticking to Synology/QNAP for ease of use etc?
