I think that one aspect you left out, but it's very important when trying to edit from the NAS. Speed! What write/read speed can you expect when editing 4K/HD using 10Gbe/TB? Important is to use the settings that Qnap themselves recommend when doing a speed test, plus using the testing tool the use as well, AJA. Over the past 6 months I have had 4-5 people from their support trying to figure out why I don't get more speed from my TVS-672XT as in their marketing material. Great support, but no results.
Wow, you really learned me a lot of new things. A positive benefit from this lesson was that my backup at Backblaze suddenly recognized my NAS drives when they appeared as local drives. Perhaps you should evaluate if there is a need of a Mac os/final cut pro version of this excellent video?
I have some interesting results with this. Qnap ts-453 bt3 Connected via thunderbolt. Ssd cache enabled on the Lun but not the mapped drive ( windows 11) Mapped drive (No ssd cache) write speed 67MB/s Read speed 576 MB/s Lun(Read Cache Enabled) Write = 180 MB/s Read 362 MB/s Does anybody have any idea why the read speed of the mapped drive is faster?
lol robbie didn't setup the LUN correctly (hence the error message he ignored) you don't use discover portal - just use quickconnect on first tab entering IP of NAS - Just be warned you can't see the contents/ files of the LUN on the NAS directly only the LUN details!!!
For anyone wondering (I spent days trying to figure out which method was best). The iSCSI method of creating 'local drives' on your PC does not work as a network drive and therefore, other PCs connected to the NAS would not have access to files on the 'local drives'. So for NAS setups on multiple workstations, this option does not work. Your best bet is probably the normal mapped drives, or Qsync. Not sure why I couldn't understand this earlier, but now i do and the below video helped! ruclips.net/video/cymqasho9xU/видео.html
I have no intention of doing any video editing but, like most of your videos, I got a great education today. Many thanks.

Wow - I wish you'd use a decent editor for your guides. You know Resolve is free, right? And it's miles better than adware like Power Director.

Great vid! I do have one problem though - the 'create a LUN and map it to this target' is greyed out. Any ideas how to fix this?
Not to worry, found that if you create a Lun separately you can assign it to the iscsi target. Works like a dream. Thank you!
