The Network- Attached Storage, or NAS in short, has been providing us with great convenience since the 90s. This invention has been providing homes and businesses with convenient file storage solutions for decades and has constantly upgraded to fit the needs of the ever-growing IT industry. Although a NAS is no longer a stranger to most companies, the owners of some SMEs and traditional businesses in Singapore still find themselves trapped in a dilemma, if a NAS is suitable for their business operations.
A NAS for your nest
With the influence of social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, many of us developed the habit of taking multiple photos and videos every day. Sharing the photos of nice food we had, a celebration of special moments and other events of our lives among our friends and family.
However, there is a limit to how much your phones and cameras can store these wonderful photos. Are you storing it across different devices or are you paying for additional storage space for storing these files on the public cloud solutions?
Here’s why you need a NAS at home:
- Everyone in your household can store photos, pictures, videos & files in the same NAS
- Each user may have their own personal storage folder & have control over who has access to these folders
- Store files on your own personal NAS instead of public cloud services for more privacy
- One-time purchase of the device instead of recurring subscription for storage space
- Backup your PC & Mac automatically to your NAS
- Offsite access for greater convenience
- Without the need to carry the device around, it lowers the risks of losing data as compared to a USB drive
- Watch videos from PCs, Apple TV, Android TV, or mobile devices directly without copying out files between devices
- Share file links or create file requests and a link will be generated. Your friends may follow the link to download the file even without a DSM account
A NAS for office
File storage solutions don’t have to be expensive. Especially for small businesses, a NAS provides an affordable file storage solution to backup data, share files and work collaboration on their files.
