Best affordable 4 bay NAS for Mac and PC network?

analogs

Well-known member
Anyone can recommend a 4 bay NAS that I can network into a Mac and Windows setup?

Am I better off choosing one computer platform(Mac or PC) when using the NAS and will there be any issues having Mac and PC accessing, editing and storing files on the NAS system?

I am currently considering the Qnap TS-431 and Synology DS-418 and starting off with WD 4gb Blue drives and then let it grow.

I want to use the NAS to store all my video footage that I can then transfer to my local SSD drive when I need to use it for a video.
 
Look at FreeNAS mini prices before you buy something else or build your own FreeNAS machine following one of the many guides on the web for budget builds.
 
I’ve been pretty happy with my Zyxel NAS. Works great for both PC’s and Macs.
Tech support was top notch.
