Agency POV:

1. Agency might need to have a powerful NAS if they want to store

their big media files or a collection of tons of stock photos and videos
if they own a graphic studio.

2. They use NAS to back up their video files after a long day of film
shooting.

RAID O

Performance
-More drives = more performance

Functionality
-Perfect for high-end videographers working with ultra-high-definition
editing, motion graphics or 3D modeling

RAID 1

Performance
- The minimum number of drives are two for duplexing

Functionality

RAID 5

Performance
- Requiring a minimum of 3 drives with capacity utilization at 75
percent

Functionality
- Most commonly used for businesses and NAS devices.
- Inexpensive solution for data protection

RAID 6

Performance
-

Functionality
- With additional parity block and can sustain two drive failures and
still be operational

RAID 50 & 60

Performance
- Offering much higher write speeds with a minimum of 6 disks
required.
- Offers robust performance boost Offering much higher write speeds
with a minimum of 6 disks required.
- Offers robust performance boost

Functionality
- Can sustain multiple drive failures.

RAID VS NAS

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks)

- are disk arrays fused and operating as one super hard drive.
- can be deployed in two type - Hardware RAID or Software RAID
- RAID configurations are known as levels and you can find many of
these levels starting from RAID 0 up to RAID 60 and in between, where
each level is designed and deployed for different requirements.

NAS
- Network attached storage is hard disk storage devices connected to
an office or home network.
- NAS devices are accessed via a network, mostly TCP/O{ and not
through a direct connection with a computer.
- Allows users to store files on a centralized storage array that can be
of great importance for creative professionals and video editing
teams to collaborate and access the same data.

-Great for creating network file shares within an organization if your

employees frequently collaborate on the same files or need access to
video files, audio files,
-Storage solution can also utilized for keeping a backup of files in case
of an unforeseen disaster.
