A NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a hard drive that is connected to a network wired or wireless that stores data that multiple provisioned computer devices can access. As far as the speed of the NAS network adapter, most can support high speeds up to 100 MBps. However it also depends on your internet connection and router if they are getting a good connection with today’s standard speeds you can typically reach 30-45 Mbps. NAS storage devices can have a huge difference in sizes. You can have as little as 100 GBs or even as high as 40TBs, although the amount of hard drives you connect has to do with your interface and how many connection it has or if it can be expanded, so you really could have as little or as much as you would ever want. Most NAS devices we can buy today do have a RAID configuration option for fault tolerance. You can connect 2 drives in RAID O and not have to worry about losing your information if one fails; the other drive has the same information as the other faulty drive. A lot of the NAS storage devices have software built in that allow you to access your information from anywhere like in a cloud network. Also they have software with filing systems to help you organize every piece of data in your drive.
There are many reasons someone would want or need a NAS storage system. A NAS allows families to save all photos, videos and documents to be able to share the data between different devices in the home or and where you are if you have a good internet
