Network-attached storage (NAS)
Network-attached storage (NAS) is a file-level computer data storage server connected to a computer network providing data access to a heterogeneous group of clients. NAS is specialized for serving files either by its hardware, software, or configuration. It is often manufactured as a computer appliance – a purpose-built specialized computer. NAS systems are networked appliances which contain one or more hard disk drives, often arranged into logical, redundant storage containers or RAID.

    Apparently it's not neighbourly to stop your neighbour from stealing your wifi

    He's omitted the third thing they can do and that's for the thieving neighbour to get his own damn wifi! And I thought it was just young people who are incredibly entitled.

    Synology DS 224+ / 423+ / 723+ Vs QNAP TS-264?

    I noticed Synology have brought out new models this year. I really only need 2-bay but like the added flexibility of 4 (or an extension). The 723+ would be ideal except the lack of GPU for hardware transcoding, and since the 224+ doesn't allow extensions the 423+ with 2 drives initially seemed a...
