Network-attached storage (NAS) centralizes your files on one system that multiple users and devices access over a standard network connection — the shared-storage solution businesses and production studios across Los Angeles run on.
Built purpose-built for creative teams — real-time collaborative editing in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Resolve, and Avid, with 8K-ready performance. Ships with ShareBrowser, SNS's media asset manager, built in at no extra cost — your team searches and tags media by name, metadata, or timecode right inside the apps they already use.
Request a quote →Broad CPU options and PCIe expansion for teams that want to configure the system around their workflow.
One of the most established names in NAS, built around DSM — reliable and easy to manage without a dedicated IT person.
Current-generation processors and multi-gig networking built in — modern specs in a compact system.
A team that just doubled in size. A NAS nobody on staff actually set up. A few hundred terabytes of footage with no way to search it. These are the three questions we hear most from production and post teams — find yours.
Whether you inherited it or your team outgrew it, we look at what's actually running today — capacity, network speed, how your editors use it — and tell you straight whether it needs an upgrade, an expansion, or a replacement.
Start here →Untagged, unsearchable footage slows down every edit. We'll match you with the right metadata and asset-management solution for your workflow — including SNS's ShareBrowser — so your team finds a shot by name, date, or keyword instead of hunting through folders.
Start here →More bays, a faster cache tier, a second NAS, more drives — we'll tell you exactly what your existing hardware needs next, not just sell you more of it.
Start here →Pick a bay count, add your drives, and see usable capacity before you rent or buy from MSG.
Support from MSG that goes beyond the drive itself.
Transfer data between LTO tape and hard drive, in either direction — tape to drive or drive to tape. If your content is sitting on a NAS, we'll ship you a shuttle drive: load it up and send it back to us.
Request this service →Verify drive health before it goes back into rotation or into long-term archive at MSG.
Request this service →Quick answers before you request a quote. Don't see yours? Just ask.
For active projects, a hard drive is faster and easier. For long-term archive, LTO tape is more reliable — no moving parts touching your data day to day, and rated for 15 to 30 years of shelf life. Most teams use both: drives for what they're working on now, tape for what they're keeping.
Both. MSG rents production hard drives (HDD/SSD), RAID systems, and LTO tape drives — short-term or long-term, in Los Angeles and nationwide.
Tell us your project — how much footage, what format, your deadline — and we match you with the right LTO-7, LTO-8, or LTO-9 drive. It ships ready to use, Thunderbolt 3, Apple and Intel certified, and you send it back when you wrap.
Yes — tape to drive or drive to tape, either direction. If your content is sitting on a NAS, we'll ship you a shuttle drive so you can load it up and send it back to us.
Yes. MSG ships rentals and handles transfers nationwide, with will-call pickup available in Los Angeles. Need to rent, buy, get a NAS health check, or transfer footage off tape? All of it — yes. Tell us what you're working on and we'll take it from there.
One form, one reply from MSG. No account, no runaround.
