9 good reasons to buy a NAS for your home or office

What is a NAS and why do I need one?

There are many reasons why network attached storage (NAS) makes a great addition to your home or small office. Maybe you're sick of paying monthly cloud service fees, or maybe you need a lot more storage space than you currently have. A NAS allows for centralized file management, and, in some cases, adds a layer of security over your files. I'll help get you headed in the right direction when it comes to ditching the cloud and getting serious about network attached storage.

1) A NAS is relatively easy to set up

Setting up a NAS is relatively easy — it does not require much more tech knowledge than it took to set up Windows and navigate to this web page. Fill the NAS with drives, plug it in, and attach it to your network either wirelessly or with an Ethernet cable. Although NAS units have their own processor, motherboard, and RAM, most are controlled through an internet browser using a simple interface designed to be suitable for all users. You will have it set up and storing your data in no time.
