A network -connected storage device called "NAS (Network Attached Storage)" is convenient for storing data you want to share at home and in the office, such as photos and videos taken while traveling, and work files for ongoing projects.Since files can be easily exchanged between multiple devices via a wired and wireless LAN router, the efficiency of data sharing is greatly increased compared to the method of storing it in a USB memory and physically exchanging it.
NAS has a variety of products from each company, but the functions and usability to be installed vary depending on the product.In order to operate as safe and stressful as possible, you want to choose a product that is resistant to communication disorders and disk disorders.Therefore, DROBO's "DROBO 5N2" is recommended.In Japan, it is a product that is sold as an agency with familiar Princeton in computer peripheral devices and smartphone screams.

You can access it anywhere in the house!
In the case of a general external storage device, it is necessary to connect to a personal computer with a USB cable or the like each time.However, "DROBO 5N2" is only necessary to connect to a home or office network in advance, and there is no need to connect it directly with a personal computer when using it.
In an environment where wireless LAN can be used, a wireless LAN master unit called Wi-Fi router / access point should be installed, but if you connect the body and "DROBO 5N2" with a LAN cable, where you are in the house or in the office.You can also access "DROBO 5N2" wirelessly.Moreover, it is possible to access from multiple PCs at the same time.It is much easier to share data with family and office friends.
However, if multiple people can easily use one storage, each person tends to save it and tend to be insufficient.Even in such a case, if you have "DROBO 5N2", you can easily increase the capacity by adding or replacing HDDs and SSDs later.Up to 5 units on the body 3.It can be installed with 5 inch HDDs and SSDs, and it is said that the specifications correspond to the super large capacity of up to 64TB.
The HDD that is supported at the moment is up to 12TB, so it is 60TB even if 5 units are inserted.However, DroBO has been working on large -capacity HDDs by updating firmware, so if it supports large HDDs in the future, it should be able to expand to 64TB.In this case, not only ordinary households, but also large offices will not be in trouble with the shortage of capacity for the time being.
By the way, "DROBO 5N2" has two Gigabit Ethernet ports for inserting a LAN cable.In ordinary households, it can be used comfortably just by connecting one to the network, but offices accessed by many people are even more comfortable using both ports.
For example, by connecting to a network with two LAN cables, even if one network is disconnected for some reason, you can maintain communication with the other.In addition, the communication speed can be increased by handling two network connections as a single network connection.Therefore, even in environments where many accesses such as offices are concentrated at one time, it is possible to reduce communication disorders and communication speeds.
"DROBO 5N2" has five slots to attach a drive, and can wear up to 5 HDDs and SSDs.
