Hey there...looking for advice.
My wife is starting a photography studio which will include a couple of Macbooks a Mac mini, and a windows 10 laptop.
The macbooks will be used to retouch images, the mini will be used for displaying images to clients, and the windows machine will be my wifes daily driver.
I am starting to research options for a NAS to store images (raw files) from the photo shoots. The windows machine will be backing up financial data to the NAS and occasionally reviewing images processed on the macs. Every machine will connect via ethernet and/or wireless.
The primary concern is the ability to backup the images from the macs as quickly as possible. Avg file sizes are in the neighborhood of 40MB each. (lets say each shoot will produce 4gigs worth of data and there will be upto 6 shoots per day)
I am learning about all the different options (apple file sharing, SMB, SMB2, etc.), but would appreciate any guidance the think-tank has to offer.
In summary, I would like help to understand which is the best protocol to use in a mac heavy environment.
