What's a NAS?

Where do we start to ensure our data is safe nowadays? There are many ways of making sure your data is safe and easy to access or to perform many backups. One of the best ways we have found is using a NAS, which is easy to set up from start to finish. Why do you or your family need one you ask? This is simply because instead of having multiple external hard drives dotted around the house you will only have a single unit in one location. Is your phone or laptop running out of space due to having a lot of photos? We understand that the constant challenge of having numerous photos kept on your cameras, scattered across different devices and services can become difficult to manage. To consolidate these files into one safe place, you need a secure and centralised storage solution.
