We look into Editing 4k video on a NAS over 10 GBe on a macbookpro and Synology DS1621+.
Although it you can have the NAS ( ds1621 plus ) in your workflow or part of your storage solution for video editing, we do not recommend editing on the NAS primarily due LATENCY. The latency introduced by going over the network and using spinning disks is multiple steps back in terms of performance for video editing.
It would be fine to have the NAS in your workflow where you use it as your mass storage for source material, but to have your library and cache storages on it would be a mistake. Although you could get away with it, the latency introduced from it would drive people looking for a high performance and smooth solution crazy and away.
