DAS is designed for one user and optimized for speed - especially for database workloads like iPhoto. NAS does offer some nice features like cross platform sharing and with a good network can be shared effortlessly with several clients that don't mind sharing the speed of the device. DAS is much more responsive - especially for little file input/output as opposed to streaming a large file or song. Think in terms of the bottlenecks - For streaming a song, AirPlay shows you what to expect - a slight delay, but the system can buffer the music to overcome little lags and delays due to network burps. NAS: The network matters - latency over WiFi can be a big bottleneck as can the controller chip / lack of cache in less expensive NAS. FW400 is better than 100 MB ethernet, and FW800/USB 3.0 are equivalent to Gigabit Ethernet. To keep this general, here are some things to think about:ĭAS: Direct Attached Storage - Thunderbolt, eSata, USB 3.0, FW800, FW400, USB are the rough pecking order.
I am willing to go without iphoto if it turns out that iphoto becomes the biggest challenge. For photos stored on the NAS, I would like to browse and view the photos on my ipad wirelessly.
IPHOTO LIBRARY MANAGER IPAD MAC OS
Does this mean I just partition one of the disks in the NAS and format it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? Which products support the formatting of Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? I am only familiar with fat32 and ntfs. I understand iphoto library needs to be sitting on a disk that is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).When I plug in my sd card, I would like files to be imported to the library wirelessly, which is on the NAS When I plug in my iphone or ipad to sync, I would like it to sync and backup with the files on the NAS wirelessly.Itunes library to be hosted on NAS with writing and reading files to occur wirelessly.I have 1 macbook air, 1 ipad, 2 iphones, 1 cable modem, 1 airport express 802.11n.I would like most action to occur wirelessly. A list of of hardware/software that I need to achieve the below will be very beneficial as will be those products that would provide very good performance. I require your help in achieving the below functionality. Storage is low so i'm hoping to set up for the very first time, a NAS to host large files such as photo's (raw format), video's and music (lossless and aac format). I have the 2011 macbook air with 128gb ssd.
