NAS (Network Attached Storage) provides a way to connect a storage device to a local area network such as a home/office WiFi system. NAS drives are different from external hard drives as they don’t directly connect to a computer; instead they connect to a network’s router. They’re an alternative to buying a traditional file server and act as a central data source for all devices connected to the network, a NAS drive is simply a network hard drive. Not only can a NAS device be used for file sharing over a local network and as a sound backup tool, but they can be used as a multi-media streaming device to access music & video files from desktop PCs, laptops & tablets.

Some NAS devices also offer access remotely meaning you’ll be able to view & edit the data on the device even when you’re away from your home or office. RAID support ensures that even if one disk fails, you can keep access to data and some NAS drives are expandable too, meaning you can upgrade your storage space without having to buy a new NAS enclosure.
