How to Choose a Synology NAS Device

NAS devices are a simple, convenient alternative to standard external hard drives. If you have dozens of GBs worth of photos, videos, and documents you want to store securely, Network Attached Storage (NAS) might be the solution. Synology offers a variety of popular NAS devices on eBay for individuals and businesses alike.

What is Network Attached Storage?

NAS devices differ from traditional external hard drives in one crucial way: they're connected to a network. When you want to access files on a hard drive, you plug it into your laptop and search through the stored files. When you want to access files on a NAS device, however, you retrieve the data from the network. As long as you're an authorized network user, you can access the data you need anywhere, anytime.
