Texture Archive

[matteosperi]

I have a technical question about archive textures:
where do you store the textures ? (I have only one workstation).
I have heard about NAS and I don't know if I should buy one; I have all the textures saved on an external hard disk;
but I have not understood if this causes slow down my rendering times or just the loading of the scene.

Thanks
Matteo

For one workstation the best way is to have everithing in an internal NVME SSD (project files + library).
