Hi everyone,
I am considering getting a NAS for data storage at home. I am thinking about the QNAP 439. Has anyone used it or similar devices? It has two gigabit ethernet ports. One I could connect to the PC and one I could connect to my MacBook Pro. So I wouldn't even need to get an expensive gigabit router/switch. I can even use the thing as an iSCSI device (getting a bit of a taste of the world of big SANs).
What I wonder now is this: how well will Lightroom work with it? Do people have experience with this?
Alternatively I could get a LaCie 4Big Quadra. Better raw disk performance. But not anywhere near the flexibility of the QNAP.
Currently I have my Lightroom files (including catalog) on an external 5''G FW4'' drive.
Cheers,
Joerg
