Unraid as DAS for FCP

[Digiwolf]

Hey Community –

I'm a newbie here! I've been reading a lot about the Unraid capabilities however I wanted to double check whether my thought was to the right direction. I saw Linus' video about his 4K Editing NAS [https://youtu.be/FAy9N1vX76o?t=1039], as I was wondering if I could add a Thunderbolt 3 PCIe card to make it a DAS, in addition to running Unraid as NAS.

Ideally, I'd love to offload my 4K footage on SSDs, create a Final Cut Library at my MacPro, connect the Mac with Unraid/DAS via Thunderbolt and externally link the footage for real-time editing. Would that work without any latency/lagging/missing frames?

Also, what improvements would you make to Linus' configuration?

Many thanks!
