Network Attached Storage, or NAS, sounds super technical but is actually a pretty straightforward, incredibly useful organizational aid.

NAS explained

NAS is essentially a smart storage box, plugged into your local network. Anyone on that network can access it, creating a central repository of files instead of them being dispersed. Homes and companies of all sizes like using NAS systems because of their simplicity, reliability, and scalability.

What can NAS do?

NAS offers a lot of functionality, such as file storage and sharing in a centralized location. It can also automatically back up devices to prevent data loss. Many NAS devices support RAID, meaning that a single drive failure doesn’t mean that data is gone forever. Using the 3-2-1 rule (3 copies, 2 media types, 1 off-site) can add further security: use NAS as your primary vault, with a second ‘emergency’ copy in a secure cloud or remote server. An NAS protects you from a dead drive, 3-2-1 can save you from utter catastrophe. Another functionality of NAS systems is their ability to act as central media repositories for your household, able to stream content to a TV, phone, console, tablet, or other device. NAS can also store security camera footage, and allow for monitoring and playback on-demand: perfect for homes and offices alike, as well as those hunting porch pirates.

Why choose NAS?

There are plenty of reasons to choose NAS. Centralized data management is an obvious one: having access to all your files in a single place is a huge boon. Remote access is another. The ability to access your NAS on the go provides incredible utility. Since most modern NAS systems have their own apps, it’s no more complicated than Dropbox or Google Drive, and skips the monthly fees. An NAS is also scalable: you can add more drives as your need for storage expands. Hard drives offer great storage for your buck, but SSDs offer higher performance, less noise, and lower power consumption, beneficial if your system will handle a lot of performance-heavy tasks. NAS also offers enhanced security options on top of passwords, such as encryption or access controls (aka digital locks for your files). In summary: NAS is powerful and versatile, storing, managing, and protecting data with ease. It’s organized and reliable, and suitable for shared storage, backups, media streaming, or camera footage management.
