“QNAP NAS makes it easier to work creatively and gives me a sense that my data is secure. They simply work so well that I can forget all the boring, trivial tasks and just focus on my creativity.”

Morten Hilmer
Morton Hilmer is a nature and documentary photographer with a primary focus on Nordic and Arctic wildlife. His primary occupation is to photograph and document Nordic nature, write books, deliver lectures about Nordic countries, sell fine arts, and make YouTube videos about Nordic nature. He has worked as a photographer since 2013 and is based in North Jutland, Denmark.
As a wildlife photographer and documentary filmmaker, it is very common for Morten to bring 300GB of 4K video and photos with him from work.
Morten usually stores his works on up to 16 external disks, making it a chore to find and access specific files and causing problems when he is in the field or in a customer meeting. The scattered nature of his data across all these disks also makes it difficult to ensure proper backup of all files and is hampering his workflow.
The solution was a setup of TVS-672XT and TS-653D NAS as well as a QSW-M408-4C 10GbE switch and QNA-T310G1T, a 10GbE-to-Thunderbolt adapter.
Both NAS devices are equipped with six hard drives that provide ample space and are set up in RAID 5 for protection against disk failure. While Morten uses one NAS as an archive for all his projects, new and old, the other NAS is physically located in another office and backs up his archive, which simplifies his workflow.
Via the QNA-T310G1T, Morten can directly connect to the NAS via Thunderbolt connection and edit 4K video in real-time without needing to create proxy files.
The TVS-672XT and TS-653D secured and safely backed up three years of Marten’s invaluable work of 42TB projects, raw material, images and video files.
With a single archive action, all his old projects are accessible and can easily be found. Plus, all the files are easily reachable through any online device, so he can access his projects whenever he wants.
Morten Hilmer says “Before, it was a bit cumbersome to find the hard drive with a specific file and move it around, but now I just browse online. My workflow became efficient to be able to work faster.”
