Before you choose

What Should You Check Before Buying?

Use these nas requirements to narrow your shortlist, then verify each requirement for the exact model.

  1. Check drive bays, compatible drives and whether disks are included.
  2. Verify backup and restore options; redundancy does not replace a backup.
  3. Check camera compatibility and required recording licenses.
  4. Match network ports and application support to the intended workload.

Which Brands Are In This Catalog?

Device counts refer to this category’s catalog entries, not the manufacturer’s entire range.

Plan the rest of your setup

These categories address related jobs. Check model-level compatibility before combining devices.

Cameras

Security cameras capture video for monitoring a space. Power, recording location and access to footage matter as much as the advertised resolution.

Routers

Routers connect networks; Wi-Fi routers also provide wireless access. Compare radio bands, Ethernet port roles and coverage requirements instead of relying on a headline speed alone.

Mini PCs

Mini PCs are compact computers that can host compatible home services. Processor architecture, memory, storage and operating-system support determine the workloads they can run.
