What Can You Do With a NAS?
Once you decide that you need to store files on a network drive, you then need to figure out what you want to do with them in order to determine what kind of NAS you need. For example, sharing access to Office files like spreadsheets and Word documents with your coworkers is a relatively simple job for a NAS. If you're using the NAS to back up your laptops overnight, that's pretty straightforward as well. But if you're serving HD videos over your home network to two tablets, a laptop, and your smart TV simultaneously, you'll want a NAS with higher specifications for memory, processor, and network capabilities. You'll also need a more powerful NAS if you want to store media libraries, like a collection of 100,000 stock photos, for your graphics art studio. Our NAS device reviews point out their capabilities and suitability to various tasks. pcmag.com |
