I’m going to be processing 15,000 acres every week for 24 weeks this summer (for a total of 360k acres) and I’d like some insight on how to manage all of this data. I’m going to be using pix4D fields. And uploading the processed ortho to agremo. I’ll have a 10gig link from a nas to the computer for processing. The GSD will be around 1cm as well be using a phase one camera.
is there a way to have the main data storage folder on a nas. And if not what is a simple workflow that I can adopt to allow ease of storage
You can change the data storage folder in the settings, but we strongly advice against putting it on an NAS for performance reasons.
I would process on an SSD and then use the new batch export import feature to archive the projects to the NAS if your workflow requires it.
Could you share feedback on why you need to uplaod the data to agremo in the first place?

Amazing! Thank you. We are going to be doing stand counts for our clients and there is no option in pix4D for automated stand counts.
Hi @Julius_Petri What do you mean by putting it on a NAS for performance reasons? Are there any other reasons to consider?
Thank you,
Mustafa
That was a typo! We advise AGAINST it.
It’s much slower than an internal drive and more unpredictable for live data you work with. For Archival purposes via the exported projects it’s fine.
Off course you could test it if it works under your conditions and have the appetite for risk.
