While there are NAS devices out there with a single drive, you can save a few dollars and simply connect a regular USB or eSATA drive to many of the routers on the market today if all you want is a simple, shared storage solution. One of the first questions you need to ask when choosing a NAS is how many drives do you want it to support. So, what makes a good NAS and what’s available on the market? Many of us – me included – have large libraries of digital content we’ve already paid for and want to be able to access at home or work. And even though streaming services like Netflix, Stan, Apple Music and Spotify are changing the way we access media, we still need to ensure data is reliably backed up. We now store more content at home than ever before.
