I am in need of a Nas for sports photography. I am shooting thousands of photos per game and each game total volume is around 256 GB before culling. I am looking for a solution to copy over all the files from the card directly to the NAS then cull through and edit over the network. I was considering the DS1522+ but wanted some feedback if that was still the best option.
Hey there,
Fellow photographer…sports, concerts, headshots, weddings, etc…
I have a Synology 1821+ with 8 16TB HDD, configured as SHR, gives me about 83 TB of useable storage…
I have used about 62 percent of my total storage, so will be looking to add a DX 517 expansion drive soon.
My workflow is a bit different…I have a Glyph 16TB external HD that I travel with. Ingest with PM, edit with PS. Usually have a month or two of events and then send to the NAS by direct connection when I am home for a period of time.
I do this as it feels faster and I have more control is I need to work from a vehicle, slow connections, etc.
Once I put the files onto the NAS, I still have access to them.
Anyways, hope this helps.
Scott
It also depends on the culling software. You’re good if the software works well over the network.
