Network attached Storage (NAS)
Computer Support (Nottingham) Ltd - PC Doctor can offer a network storage device, which is suitable for the home. The device means you can share a large or small amount of digital data on your home network. Features include:

• Gigabit Ethernet.
• Two or more internal Serial ATA mirrored hard drives.  NAS system has two or more hard drives that use RAID.  This means that the date is spanned across all the drives.  If one should fail, the data is still safe. By replacing the failed drive(s) the data is then re built across all drives.
• Capacity is dependant on your requirement however, one terabyte is a normal size.
• SATA gives greater data transfer speeds, at an affordable price.

Reasons for having such a Device - Since the advent of digital cameras and MP3 players people are taking more photos and downloading more music onto their computers and there they stay as most do not backup.  If the computer crashes all those valuable photos and music could be lost forever, we have seen it happen so many times here at Computer Support (Nottingham)
Ltd. With a NAS you can store your photos and music and it will be backed up regularly.  This also applies to all your other valuable documents such as:

• Address book
• Emails
• Word documents
• Spreadsheet
• Database files.
• Children school work
• University course work
• Household accounts
