Think of NAS servers as easy-to-use webservers for private use. Create your own private cloud with a NAS server for streaming your private music collection throughout the home. For personal use, most people find that a NAS to one or two terabytes is sufficient but there are models available with up to 20 terabytes of space - enough for the biggest music and photo collections. The advantage of a NAS over a smartphone or tablet, of course, is the sheer quantity of data that can be made available. Just as you can share music stored on a smartphone integrated into your Wi-Fi network, all information on a NAS can be shared with all other devices in that network. The abbreviation NAS stands for “Network Attached Storage”, in other words, a storage system that’s integrated into a Wi-Fi network. This makes NAS servers a great way to share information between devices, a quality that’s especially handy when it comes to music streaming. They can even function as a sort of personal cloud by making your files available remotely. NAS servers, however, do more: They make this data available to all devices that share the same Wi-Fi network. Similar to an external hard drive, a NAS server is a central storage system for multimedia files, documents and other data.
