If you need a ton of local storage, it would be cheaper to buy a NAS and some 20TB drives for it than to upgrade from a Studio to a Mac Pro. Especially with a 10-gig Ethernet connection.
I’m really not sure about the speed. Your setup is limited by thunderbolt, I’m not sure how exactly the SATA ports are hooked up in the Pro, maybe there could be an advantage?
But that’s really a niche scenario for like 5 people. A proper server would be a better solution in that case.
