  • Access anywhere in the world?

    On that criteria it really doesn't matter what the storage is... spinning disks are fine, RAID a lot of HDD together in one of the larger Synology devices.

    Your bottleneck is simply network... where are you putting this such that you could get anything closed to local Thunderbolt speeds? A home internet connection? Co-location?

    The cost is almost exclusively to do with the internet connection as that dictates the entire expensive and feasibility.

  • Your bottleneck is simply network

    I would agree, but I've read that certain solutions e.g. WebDAV won't even fully saturate that

    where are you putting this

    Would be in a UK office location with a good fibre line

    This data will be accessed 50/50 in an office (I'm sat next to the disks, so I want it fast, and I'm used to a thunderbolt connection), and remotely (performance obviously limited by internet speed), I'm trying to figure out which solution gives me both.

  • For this in the past I've used a VPN and then for the remote access it just mounts it as usual.

    Assuming the VPN is running on something decent you should get good speed but it is sensitive to drop outs, particularly if you're transferring large files.
