Would you recommend OMV for video editing?

Hello guys,

One of my friends does not have enough space to store all his videos.
He is doing video editing (films, documentaries etc...) on his Mac and want more space because he is now editing in 4K (about 20To !!) ...

My question is, according to you, would OMV be a good thing to store data like this?

I was saying to him that I can build for him a NAS which he can access from all over his place (his big TV screen to see his movies, his office where he works at his videos etc...)
But I was wondering one or two things :
- even with 1gb/s network card, would it be a good idea to edit videos directly on LAN?
- how will react his video editing software with network stored data?
- will the CPU ressources of his MAC used for editing go down because of the network ?
- speaking of performance, is it better to run the editing on the MAC or on the NAS (with obliged network restrictions...) ?

and for the most :
- is it better for him a big usb3 or firewire external device than a network storage area ???

See you.

HI,

I finally chose for him (according to his basic needs) a simple Lian-Li Raid box with 5x4To WD Red disks.
It will be connected as a USB3 storage device to his Mac and will serve as a storage data unit.

At the end, no need to do anything with the network, so no NAS.

Thx for the reply by the way.

Cheers
