NAS (Network Attached Storage) or External Hard Drive? Here's how to decide

in technology •  7 years ago 

you know, devices that just serve your data is passe! There is no difference between a nas server and an external disk except for the protocol that they connect on.

of late there are lots of applications that we need on our home front like media servers, tv streaming software...

you are better of just using a regular old pc, loading linux on it and using it like a server where it doubles up as a NAS server and also to host your applications.

That's another smart option. A simple laptop/pc that you can plug external drives into..
