ComputerActive.co.uk recently put out a very brief guide to selecting the right NAS for your personal use. Most of the advice presented is pretty straightforward for anyone who knows much about network attached storage, but it might still be useful to someone just setting up their first storage device.
Most of the advice presented in the article can be summarized in the quick 3 points brought up early on in the article:
There are three key points to consider when buying a Nas.
• First, Nas devices are available in ‘populated’ and ‘bare’ forms – put more simply, with or without hard disks.
• Secondly, you can get Nas products with or without Wifi – those without need to be plugged into the router or into a compatible extender, such as a powerline adapter.
• And thirdly, Nas devices with more than one disk can make use of a technology called Raid (short for Redundant Array of Independent Disks) that can provide even safer backups and give better performance.
