We run a small photography and videography business using 2 iMac's. I'm about to upgrade to new iMac and we'd like to improve our storage options to a more professional set up. Obviously we create lots of large files, so its a growing problem...
Until now we've been using 1/2TB drives and just keep them in the filing cabinet. Ovioulsy not ideal and given that we both work from different areas it is not easy/simple to share files, hence the need for some kind of network option...
I looked at a NAS system but my local Apple retailer has put me off due to others having a bad experience, not sure why! A friend told me a dont need a full network as its too elaborate/expensive for what I need...he suggested the NAS!
As my knowledge is limited I'm now at a loss to know what to do or who to speak to. I'm also holding off on the new iMac purchase incase there is something I need to get added to the machine for any future storage set up!
Sorry for the long post but I tried to keep it brief!
Cheers
