Thanks dolbyman for a prompt answer!
Right, but when I want to share the NAS storage with someone working 1000km away, isn’t it better for the overall performance to keep RAID 10? Because that will be a case at some point. I will have two PCs connected locally, but I work with freelancer from around the world where I would like to keep the connection as stable and fast as possible from my side. I don’t understand much the IOPS apart from what I’ve just read in Wikipedia in few minutes. Ofc I don’t want to be an ignorant, and you might be 100% right with RAID 5, it’s just my knowledge which is still limited now.
Just an example, let’s say I want to work with a freelancer from different country. Every project I work on, it has the main library and project files in NAS, whenever I update one part of the project, he need to get the quick access and Syncing has to go as fast as we can. I know it depends very much from his/her connection as well, but I want to do the best setup from my side.
So my current situation is that I’m connected to my PC via ethernet wire directly from their socket in the “floor”.
And my idea was to purchase QNAP NAS, and switch (e.g QSW-2104-2T-R2) to be able to use 10 Gbit. and plug directly to both PCs in the Co-work. Can you tell me something more about the direct web exposure? I didn’t think about that, by default I was thinking that I can protect my NAS with password or other method.
