Hey, You need a 60TB NAS that your Mac workflow can rely on daily, built on RAID 6 so two drives can fail without losing anything, with encryption keeping client work protected. Before I put together a hardware recommendation: are you looking to purchase new hardware and have it configured remotely with guidance, or do you already have a NAS unit and need the RAID and encryption setup done? I will recommend the right NAS hardware and drives for your workload, configure RAID 6 across the array, set up volume encryption, tune macOS compatibility for seamless Finder and Premiere or Final Cut access, and hand over a short admin guide covering drive replacement, health monitoring, and backup verification, within one week of hardware being in hand. Storage builds for creative small businesses running high-throughput media files are a regular part of my infrastructure work. RAID 6 on a 60TB array needs the right drive selection and controller to hit reliable write speeds for video, and that is the first thing I will lock in before anything else. Send me a message with your current setup and budget for hardware and I will put together a specific plan. Best, Ahmad

You need a RAID 6 NAS setup for 60TB of photography and film files with macOS compatibility and encryption. - I’ll recommend a Synology or QNAP unit with Seagate IronWolf drives for balance of cost and reliability, then configure RAID 6 for dual-drive fault tolerance and macOS SMB/AFP compatibility. - Encryption will use the NAS’s built-in AES-256 volume encryption, with key backup stored securely offline to avoid lockout risks. - Post-setup, I’ll run a 24-hour burn-in test to validate performance and redundancy, then document access protocols and recovery steps for your team. The 7-day timeline includes hardware validation, RAID build, encryption, and testing. The $750 covers the scope as written; we’ll refine the figure once we walk through the missing details like preferred NAS model and network topology. A quick 15-minute call can clarify any open points.
