Home Network Attached Storage Buyers Guide

Network attached storage (NAS) for the home is all the anger. NAS provides a 
way to share files, access music and films and backup your information. To 
help people interested in a NAS tool select the best network attached 
storage for them, NASDrives.net presents this buyers guide.

What is Network Attached Storage?

Network attached storage devices are small servers dedicated to nothing but 
file sharing. In lieu of having to physically connect a drive to your 
computer, you can plug a tool in to your home network that provides 
additional storage space. Storage prices are falling and adding 250gb, 500gb 
or even 1 tb (terabyte) is becoming cheap and simple.

Advantages of NAS

* It is a simple way to add information storage to all of your computers 
than one.

* Multiple computers can access files anytime and do not depend on a host PC 
for file sharing.

* Savings on your electric bill because a power hungry computer or server 
need not be on round the clock to share files.

* New media server features permit for centralization of your music and film 
library so it can be shared by everyone on your network and even streamed to 
home audio and video devices.

* Provides a central place for backup storage.

Explanation of features

USB Print Server - A USB printer can be connected to the NAS tool and it can 
share the printer over the network.

Media Server - The tool can stream media to any tool on the network able to 
receiving it. MP3's or movies can stream to your PC or movies can stream to 
a media middle connected to your TV.

UPnP - Universal Plug and Play. UPnP is a dynamic zero-configuration 
protocol used for tool interconnection. That is a mouthful but what it means 
is that UPnP devices can talk to other UPnP devices without any intervention 
from you. It works.

DLNA - Digital Living Network Alliance. DLNA is a certification built on 
other technologies. DLNA certification insures that certified devices will 
be able to speak to each other and provide a maximum level of features.

RAID - Redundant Array of Cheap Disks. RAID, in it is lots of 
configurations, sacrifices some disk space for a level of information 
redundancy. RAID 1, called mirroring, makes an exact duplicate of the 
primary disk. If the primary disk fails then the secondary "mirrored" disk 
can take it is place until you buy a replacement. RAID only helps in cases 
of hardware failure and is not to be mistaken for a backup strategy. In the 
event you accidentally delete a file on the primary disk the file is deleted 
on the mirror as well.

FTP Server - File Transfer Protocol server. Most people won't need this and 
will use Windows file shares in lieu. Some security cameras and office 
scanners have the ability to save to FTP servers and in those cases, and 
lots of more, this feature would come in handy.

iTunes compatible - The NAS has the ability to publish it is media files to 
a computer walking iTunes. The computer with iTunes would then be able to 
play those media files.

USB Ports - Outside USB storage can be added on to extend the capacity of 
your NAS. This can insure your NAS is seldom obsolete! When you run out of 
space you can buy an cheap outside USB disk and plug it in to your NAS. A 
few systems will use these for USB printer sharing or as a host for your 
digital camera.

Gigabit Ethernet - 1 billion bits per second transfer rate. Most wiring done 
in homes or offices in the last 5 years was gigabit rated but the equipment 
is still a bit more expensive than 100 megabit so most homes and small 
offices do not support this. Gigabit will get cheaper home and SOHO use so 
it is still a nice feature to have.

Backup Program Included - A major reason to add NAS to your network is 
backups. a few drives come with Windows backup program to automate this 
important but often overlooked task.

Vista Support - Vista removed support for some older Windows file sharing 
technologies and some NAS drives still depend on it. In the event you use 
Vista in your home or office, make positive the NAS says it is Vista 
compatible.

Mac support - Native Mac support is spotty so make positive the tool is 
compatible along with your Mac and your version of the Mac OS. Macs can 
access Windows shares so this is not much of an issue.

Active Listing support - If you are walking a Windows Server or Windows 
Small Business Server in your office then you need this. It allows your 
existing network users to make use of the file shares on the NAS without 
generating new usernames and passwords. Very handy.
