A 10TB+ NAS for photo and video editing. 1 gig LAN would bottle neck, because Raid on NAS (with SSD caching) can achieve over 1000MB/s read and write. Such NAS including HDD can be done around $1000 with good deals. There are realiable and affordable 10gig switch now for $150. 10gig switch is cheaper now than people might have thought. Eventually in a couple years, it will become more affordable. Running a thin fiber cable (low power, low latency, only need a tiny hole) through house is easier than Ethernet cable. For 10gig, minimum requirement of Ethernet cable is Cat6. But for slightly longer distance, a Cat 7 is needed. Cat 7 cable is sometimes more expensive and require more power at switch than fiber.

Not sure if anyone else has this, but for me, Amazon has a $10 coupon for the 16 port, bringing it down to $40.

Is there any reason the 8-port is worse than the 5-port other than the extra $1? I don't think I currently need 8 ports but might as well have headroom for the future.

What's the difference between the Amazon and Newegg version? Same model number but Amazon is black color and has no reviews.
