NAS

Network attached storage (NAS) devices are designed to create easily expandable and secure data storage devices. They usually feature multiple drives, RAID protection options and hot-swap capabilities for reducing down time should drive failure occur. Software-powered features vary depending on the operating system included, and the processor and memory onboard, but may include automated backups, remote access, VPN, encryption, snapshots and advanced RAID configurations.

These NAS devices are in a desktop form factor, and fully populated with NAS-optimised drives of equal capacity, ready for RAID enablement.

These NAS units are sold with hard disks bundled, saving you the trouble of buying them yourself. They come in a range of sizes and capacities, from 12 to 24 bays offering large amounts of scalability. Some of these NAS boxes do not come pre-configured, giving you the chance to set them up as you see fit, including what RAID level you want to use, if any.

Software-powered features vary depending on the operating system included, and the processor and memory onboard, but may include automated backups, remote access, VPN, encryption, snapshots and advanced RAID configurations. Some units may allow expansion via connection of an additional drive enclosure.

These NAS devices are compact form factor desktop units designed to hold up to four drives. Fully populated units allow RAID levels of 0, 1, 5 or 10 to be configured. Scan recommends using NAS-optimised hard disk drives (HDDs) in these enclosures as in systems of 4 drive for more the lateral vibration generated from multiple drives spinning can reduce lifespan in standard HDDs.

Software-powered features vary depending on the operating system included, and the processor and memory onboard, but may include automated backups, remote access, VPN, encryption, snapshots and advanced RAID configurations. Rackmount units may also feature multiple network ports, up to 10Gb/s connectivity, redundant power supplies and the ability to connect additional disk shelves to expand capacity.

These rackmount NAS devices units hold up to eight drives in a 1U / 2U space. Fully populated units allow RAID levels of 0, 1, 5, 6 , 10, 50 and 60 on to be configured on most models.

HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) are the most cost effective data storage device. While HDDs are considerably slower than SSDs, you get considerably more TB of storage per pound spent. NAS HDDs are designed for 24/7 usage and differ from consumer HDDs in having greater endurance and vibration resistance.

These 3.5in SATA 3 HDDs are for use in NAS boxes, connecting directly to the drive bay. These particular SATA 3 HDDs communicate at up to 600MB/s and come in a wide variety of capacities.

You can check the compatibility of these HDDs with your server in your system documentation or our buyers guide.
