I’m trying to understand the difference between iSCSI and network share protocols. iSCSI is a block-level protocol that allows remote access to storage devices over a network. Whereas network share protocol is a file-level protocol that enables sharing of files and folders over the network.
So, in your case, you have a NAS device on the network and you want to use it for video editing. You can use either iSCSI or network share protocol depending on your needs. If you want faster access to the data, you can use iSCSI as it provides block-level access. However, if you want to share files and folders easily, the network share protocol is the better option.
I need real-world use cases where they use both and what is the upside and the downside ?
