Your client is expecting their video by the end of day and there isn\u2019t a shred of spare disk space in sight. Swiftly you run to the closet and sift through a mountain of drives. Some are so ancient they belong in a museum. Firewire? Can you get those cables anymore? Relics of technology lost to the sands of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Half the drives aren\u2019t even labelled! You\u2019re searching for anything at this point. Even an ancient thumb drive would do. A metal glint catches your eye. An old mechanical drive wrapped and choked by its own power cord with a slightly rusted USB 2.0 port. It will have to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It clicks to life as you plug it in, Finder is telling you 0.01 of 2TB is available. Your NLE chirps back at you \u201cinsufficient disk space, render failed\u201d. You must now decide\u2026 delete the entire photo album of your sixth grade ski trip or tell the client they need to wait until tomorrow to get their video.

You breathe a sweet sigh of relief until you realize\u2026 you\u2019re gonna need a bigger boat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-three-types-of-storage\">The Three Types of Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So\u2014now that you\u2019ve been 12 Reddit threads deep\u2014you\u2019ve wound up here, dear reader, looking for the solution everyone has recommended. You need yourself a NAS. First off, welcome! We\u2019re going to get things cleared up for you. The first thing I need you to do is walk to a mirror, look yourself deep in the eye and ask yourself one question\u2026 \u201cDo I actually need a NAS? &#8230;or am I a data hoarder?\u201d It\u2019s a legitimate question, one that can lead to some deep soul searching (I\u2019m <em>still<\/em> looking in the mirror at this point). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can really break up our storage needs into three categories: active, near line, and archival storage (sometimes called cold storage). Let\u2019s talk about active storage and dive into how a NAS device fulfills that role.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-nas\">What is a NAS?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NAS stands for Network Attached Storage. A NAS is generally easy to setup and appears to the users as a network mounted volume. It\u2019s meant to expand your storage capacity and enable file sharing across an organization.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s a computer connected to a network that provides file access to other devices on the network. In most cases, it has multiple drives arranged in a RAID configuration; the more drives you have, the larger amount of data you can store and access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-needs-a-nas\"><strong>Who needs a NAS?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should consider a NAS if you need to access files from more than one computer. It serves as a shared storage point for multiple users to access and collaborate on files. A NAS enables you to attach multiple workstations to work on and complete projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"412\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LumaForge-Jellyfish-workflow-server-family.jpg\" alt=\"Three LumaForge Jellyfish workflow servers representing the full lineup of devices.\" class=\"wp-image-82644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LumaForge-Jellyfish-workflow-server-family.jpg 800w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LumaForge-Jellyfish-workflow-server-family-233x120.jpg 233w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LumaForge-Jellyfish-workflow-server-family-284x146.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LumaForge-Jellyfish-workflow-server-family-190x98.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LumaForge-Jellyfish-workflow-server-family-233x120@2x.jpg 466w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LumaForge-Jellyfish-workflow-server-family-284x146@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LumaForge-Jellyfish-workflow-server-family-190x98@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>From left to right: Jellyfish Mobile, Jellyfish Rack, Jellyfish Tower<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Need to add an assistant editor? Great, grab an ethernet cable and connect it to their workstation. Need to hire a colourist? Perfect, plug them in as well. With a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lumaforge.com\/jellyfish\/mobile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jellyfish Mobile<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lumaforge.com\/jellyfish\/tower\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tower<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lumaforge.com\/jellyfish\/r24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">R24<\/a>, all you need to do is open the included Manager software to create a new user and make sure the user downloads the <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/jellyfish-nas-storage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jellyfish<\/a> Connect app. Now your team is scaled to meet the needs of your project and you haven\u2019t had to physically pass a single drive or transfer any files. Everyone is working, stress is down, and efficiency is up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you feel that? That\u2019s as close to nirvana as you\u2019re going to get working in this industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where and how a high-performance NAS like the <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/jellyfish-nas-storage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jellyfish<\/a> fulfills the need for active storage. Multiple users reading and writing large files all at once to deliver a project while eliminating the latency of transferring files.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-don-t-i-need-a-nas\"><strong>Why don\u2019t I need a NAS?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some users turn to a NAS looking for large expandable active storage but fail to take advantage of or have the need for the devices networking capabilities. If you\u2019re looking at NAS solutions for capacity alone, you might be better served with a direct attached RAID enclosure like a <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/OWC\/TB3SRKIT0GB\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thunderbay<\/a> with Thunderbolt connectivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for long-term storage for backup, check out the variety of cloud storage services available for reasonable prices, or you could dive into the world of tape-based storage with <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/OWC\/TBLTMP80000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LTO<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-do-i-do-with-my-project-now\"><strong>What do I do with my project now?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of a project, it\u2019s important to keep your files available for later access. Whether your client comes back and needs to reuse some footage, or they\u2019ve lost the final video you sent them months ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this doesn\u2019t mean that you need to have it take up precious space on your active storage NAS. We need a backup solution, and this is where near line and archival storage enter the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These solutions are usually slower and larger capacity than active storage. You can\u2019t necessarily edit in real-time from these solutions, but they are great for transferring and storing media at a lower cost. These solutions can be something like a less performant NAS if again you need multiple users to bring footage or elements back online. But for most long-term storage applications, things like <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/OWC\/TBLTMP80000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LTO<\/a> tape and back-up cloud storage are going to be your go-to user friendly solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, do you need a NAS or are you a data or hoarder? The first step is admitting you have a problem, the second is finding the solution that best suits your needs. Today and into the future. A NAS device is a flexible and powerful storage solution that meets the needs of performance, collaboration and ease of use for users in a networked environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Constantly running out of disk space for your media projects?
