is this drive for a gaming pc/editing pc or a server or something?

Primarily used for NAS file/media server, since they are designed to run 24/7 without overheating. But I have also used in my all purpose PC (emails, editing, downloading as well as some gaming). This is a great, reliable drive if you need a lot of storage, but to get the speed/low latency needed for the latest games, I would recommend an SSD instead.

Is this HD 22T compatible with a NAS system?

Yes, the WD Red Pro 22TB hard drive is built specifically for RAID and NAS environments.

Features
Features	3D Active Balance Plus Our enhanced dual-plane balance control technology significantly improves the overall drive performance and reliability. Hard drives that are not properly balanced may cause excessive vibration and noise in a multi-drive system, reduce the hard drive life span, and degrade the performance over time. Error Recovery Prevention Built specifically for RAID and NAS environments, WD Red Pro drives come equipped with error recovery controls as part of NASware 3.0 technology to help reduce drive fallout in RAID applications. Extended Drive Testing A NAS environment that has up to 24 bays is very demanding on a hard drive with added vibration and heat. This is why every WD Red Pro drive is shipped with extended thermal cycle burn-in testing to help ensure each drive is tested for extended reliable operation. Boost Your NAS WD Red drives are available in capacities up to 22TB utilizing the OptiNAND technology's capacity-enabling feature. Helps Protect Your Data The innovative ArmorCache feature (22TB only) offers power loss protection of your data in write-cache enabled (WCE) mode while increasing performance in write-cache disabled mode.
