A device with hard drives connected to your network. It works as a personal cloud: backups, shared files and access from anywhere — with no monthly subscription.

Why special NAS drives?

Because they run 24 hours a day. Ordinary desktop drives are not built for continuous operation and fail sooner.

How many drives do I need?

At least two, so there is a copy if one fails. A single drive offers no protection against failure.

Memory that corrects data errors. In a device holding your files for years, the difference matters.
