Hey guys,
This is my first thread on a non BMW (my car) or Audi (gf's car) forum, but for the first time in a long time I need help with my computer. Ironic given that's how I make my living. Now that I am 20, my technological needs have changed and I have decided I now have enough media where I want high speed wireless storage. So here's my current setup:
8TB drive hooked up to Airport Extreme (doesn't need to get any faster):
-stores many movies and old FCP projects that I only keep for if I was ever required to fork up original footage
1TB external hard drive:
-Filled to the brim with backups. My backups tend to be around 15GB and I back up every 2 weeks. I'd like to make this wireless.
128GB external USB:
-80GB full of photos as large as 40MB
400GB (partition) SSD in my 15'MBP:
-165GB of current film projects over 10 months, because I procrastinate
-25GB VM that allows me to program my car
-37GB system
Now I would hook this all up to my airport extreme but that has USB 2 and can't really handle anything beyond the tasks I'm giving it. Now that my 2012 MBP committed suicide and I grabbed a 2015, everything I own supports 802.11 ac which supports up to a theoretical 1 gigabit per second.
The dream would be to be able to keep all this data (excluding my film projects because I know that's asking too much) wirelessly accessible on fast storage. At least a dependable 50Mb/s, hopefully 80. I suspect I'll need additional hardware. I'm suspecting some mini computer that supports USB 3, and then Ethernet that into my Airport. If it changes anything, I'd probably move the contents of my USB to the 8TB drive. Let me know what you guys would do!
