Whether you are a content creator such as YouTubers, photographers, and videographers, or professionals doing remote work at home due to the pandemic, data storage must have reliable with adequate protection against data loss. Furthermore, data storage should not hinder productivity and creativity.

For professional individuals, a typical computer setup would suffice their needs. However, traditional data storage options such as HDD/SSD and portable storage drives come with limitations and vulnerabilities. This is where Network-Attached Storage, popularly known as NAS, come into play. NAS devices offer robust protection plus a few extras that traditional storage drives don't offer.

Traditional storage drives have a very limited function which is to store data.

For professionals that need a lot of storage space without dragging their computer's performance, using a NAS device is the best choice. Network-attached storage devices are standalone devices. It offers numerous robust backup options. Attached to a network, it can allow multiple users to access, store, and share data simultaneously making collaborations easier.
