The inaccessibility of 10GbE, and the even higher inaccessibility of anything faster, made me move away from NAS devices to DAS. Not everyone can do this, or needs move TBs of data on a frequent basis, but if you do then a USB4/Thunderbolt 5 DAS is the way to go (and it’s basically the only way to go in film and TV data management.)
- barnabask 5mo agoTIL that DAS stands for "Direct Attached Storage." In the olden times we called them external hard drives.
- Telaneo 5mo agoA DAS device will typically hold more than one hard drive. But yes, it's a more fancy version of having four seperate external hard drives hooked up.
- BenjiWiebe 5mo agoWell with the move to SSD's, it added two syllables. Maybe external solid state drive is just too long and it finally had to be sortened somehow.
