    Setup Lightroom Catalog with a NAS

    Based on that we are looking at about 12% of the image size. So realistically I would need to dedicate a 250 GB SSD just to 1:1 previews if I was to do it the way I had planned. Good thing you can pick up a 250 for like 80-100 these days! Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It will be a freenas box, I plan to run a i3-6100, 16 gigs of ECC ram and 8x4TB drives. Either ironwolfs or wd red's in RAID Z2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    O, it's not part of the catalog? Ok good to know. And yea I would definitely keep that on my local system on an SSD, I just don't know how large that file/folder will grow. I need to find out what the ratio is, RAW image size to 1:1 preview size. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That's good info. Mine should be quicker since I have a beefier network setup (still gigabit, but everything is way overpowered for gigabit traffic) and the server will likely be much faster then the synology NAS. It's more enterprise grade then consumer grade. I still need to determine how my...

    Setup Lightroom Catalog with a NAS

    Ok. That is a bit helpful. To address a few of my particulars, I use a way over powdered router, it's based on s core i3, 8 gigs of ram, an SSD (which is totally meaningless but I had it sitting around) and it runs on Pfsense. Routing ability won't be the bottleneck. That being said, my switches...

    Also, worth noting, gigabit is 125 MB/s. So assuming my entire 32GB CF card is full, it will only take 4 minutes to import over the network. The 1:1 preview generation will take ages longer then that. So I'm not so worried about that aspect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Setup Lightroom Catalog with a NAS

    Yea, the catalog would be on my local SSD, and importing isn't a huge issue for me. I take on average maybe 400 pictures a month, nothing that would present a huge issue as far as import goes. If it is, I could always import to my local drive and move the images later. The real question is...

    Setup Lightroom Catalog with a NAS

    I am new here, but I have been working with lightroom some for about a year now. I am far from pro, heck, even saying novice may be a stretch. That being said, I am a huge tech junky and am currently setting up a new NAS under FreeNAS to store my pictures as well as other stuff. My current...
