NAS drives, also known as Network Attached Storage, usually give you more storage space than a standard PC hard drive and often with the option of increasing the amount of storage over time. As the name suggests NAS drives 'attach' to your home network which gives you the option of allowing any device in the home to access the content on them. NAS drives are a simple way putting all of your music, video, photos and other files in one central location and making access to it simple and secure. You can even set your NAS drive up so that you can access it when you are outside of the home.
NAS drives range from simple single drive units such as the LaCie Network Space 2 which gives you 2Tb of storage to the more advanced boxes which can feature multiple hard drives and be extended over time. The LaCie Network Space Max is perfect for homes that require more storage as it has space for two drives giving you a capacity of up to 4TB.
