We never get to test Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices before, probably because most people don’t know what they are. Well, simply put, they are external hard disk enclosures that are connected to PCs via the Ethernet network rather than the USB port. Why would that be useful? Well, any PC on the network can access it, including devices like Sony’s Playstation 3. This eliminates the need to move shared data around and with multi-bay NAS devices like the N3200PRO; users can add additional hard disks or use RAID 5 for data redundancy.
