Small Studio Storage Advice

Hi,

Appologies for my beginner question but maybe someone is nice enough to have a look at my setup considerations and share some advice.

I am trying to equip a small studio with network storage. Main use is for visual effects work (Houdini, Nuke).

1-5 artists working on it

10-20 renderboxes accessing it (rendering and houdini simulations)

Currently it is more like 1-2 artists and 5 renderboxes but I want to leave a little headroom.

I am considering purchasing the following:

- Qnap Turbo Station TS-1685-D1521-32G (Xeon D-1521 2.4GHz QC, 32GB non-ECC RAM, built-in 2 10GBASE-T) ~3000€

- Samsung SSD 850 PRO 2TB, SATA (starting with 5 disks for now but with the plan to expand when needed) - ~900€ each

- a 10gbe switch (tbd) that supports link aggregation

Some questions:

1) I realzie that the SSDs are consumer SSDs but at least they are MLC and not TLC. Would you still consider this a big problem?

2) I am currently opting to the slightly cheaper 4 core NAS over the 6 core option and also starting with 32gb which I could upgrade if needed.

3) In order to use link aggregation on the Qnap NAS but also on my backup NAS,  I need a switch (managed?) that supports link aggregation. But do I also need a router that supports link aggregation?

4)  Any thoughts in general to my setup.

Any help highly appreciated.

Thanks

Martin
