Ten common functions of network storage

In recent years, more and more home users have begun to build modern home storage systems through network storage products, and use network storage to provide data transmission services for multiple computers in the home. Here are some of the ten commonly used functions of home network storage network storage.

Network storage is literally simply a device with data storage function connected to the network, so it is also called "network storage". For home and individual users, network storage is an emerging network storage.

The appearance looks like a home appliance. It only needs power and simple control buttons. It is similar in structure to a personal computer, but because of its simple function, things like keyboard and mouse are not needed.

Ten functions of network storage

1. File sharing

File sharing (ie, file server) is the most basic application of network storage. We can find the network storage device in "My Network Places" and store public files in its shared directory. In addition, some NAS also has a built-in file server function. We can access and manage the files in the NAS through a browser, and upload and download files in HTTP, just as convenient as accessing software download websites.

2. Data backup / disaster recovery

Another important function of NAS network storage is backup / disaster recovery. Most NAS have multiple backup functions, including local backup (backing up the data on the computer to the NAS via LAN), remote backup and inter-NAS backup, etc. Some NAS also has a one-key backup function, insert USB storage devices (such as flash drives and external hard drives) into a specific USB interface on the NAS, and press the backup button to back up the files on the USB storage device to the NAS. In addition, a NAS with two hard disks can form RAID 0 and RAID 1 systems. The RAID 0 system has better disk performance and the RAID 1 system has better security. NAS with 4 hard disks can form a more advanced RAID 5 system, which can improve the disk performance while ensuring data security.

3. Network printing

Network printer sharing is also a commonly used function for home users. By connecting an ordinary printer to the NAS through the USB interface and turning on the network printer function of the NAS network storage, we can use this printer together in the local area network.

4. Multimedia file sharing

As long as the photos and videos are stored in the designated directory of the NAS network storage, you can log in to the NAS's Web site for viewing through a browser, just like accessing the "NetEase Album".

5. Media Server

At present, NAS network storage products for home and individual users generally have UPnP-AV function (or streaming media function), which can be used by Windows in the network.

Devices such as the MCE system, Xbox360, and PS3 found that multimedia files stored in the NAS can be played without additional operations. This function turns the NAS into a media server for various clients in the network.

6. Web server

Many NAS network storages also have a Web server function, which supports PHP, ASP programs, SQLite, and MySQL databases. We can use it to build small and medium-sized websites, that is, use it as a web server to build personal websites.

7. FTP server

We can also use the NAS network storage to build an FTP server for everyone to upload / download files. Most download software supports FTP, so it is very convenient to use.

8. iTunes server

We can use the NAS network storage to build an iTunes server, allowing iTunes software and iPod and other devices to get music and videos from the NAS.

9. Dynamic DNS

With the dynamic DNS function, we can publish the Web service and FTP service of NAS network storage to the Internet, so that everyone can access it.

10. Download server

Some network storages also have a download function. You can turn off the computer and allow the NAS to download by opening HTTP, FTP, and BT download tasks in the NAS through a browser or dedicated download software. We can also combine the dynamic DNS function to control the NAS network storage to download through the Internet in a different place. When we get home, the NAS has been downloaded, how convenient.

The cost of network storage products is low, and the functions are diverse. In addition, it can support a large number of software. With the development of the network and the demand for more and more data sharing and storage, the market competition for network storage has become more intense. Coupled with the rapid price reduction of large-capacity hard drives, future NAS products will also develop towards multiple hard drives and strengthen various software functions.
