Q: 2. Is this good to use it on video editing or only to store things ?

If it's smaller 1080 projects the Synology 60TB DiskStation DS1522+ 5-Bay NAS Enclosure Kit with Seagate IronWolf NAS Drives (5 x 12TB) could work if the content is compressed. However if you would like to work on larger codecs or resolution.

Q: 6. I found it really hard to look for footage inside the nas because it’s slow, what should I do to increase the speed? Already installed two fast nvme.

A: NAS performance can be linked to many factors, such as drive speed, the type of RAID you are using, and the speed of your local network. If you have your DS1522+ configured in RAID 1 or JBOD, consider using a faster configuration such as RAID 0 or 5. If the NAS is connected to a network switch, make sure that it is using a gigabit port. If it is connected directly to your router, make sure that your local network is operating with appropriate speed and bandwidth and that the computer you use for editing is using a wired Ethernet connection instead of WiFi.
