UGREEN 4 bay NAS & UPS – 136TB Storage & Data Protection

Network-attached storage (NAS) is a dedicated file storage solution that connects to a local area network (LAN), allowing multiple users and devices to access and share files seamlessly. It combines hardware and software with protocols like NFS, SMB, or AFP to enable centralized file sharing. NAS devices, which can be scaled up by adding more storage drives, often support redundant storage configurations like RAID for data integrity. Managed through a browser-based utility, NAS systems provide fast, secure, and reliable storage services, making them ideal for both home and enterprise environments where efficient file sharing and data management are crucial.

NAS devices connect to your network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, creating a local area network (LAN). They use file-sharing protocols like NFS and SMB/CIFS to allow multiple users to access stored data simultaneously. See more:How Does NAS Work?

Yes, you can access your NAS storage remotely through several methods, each with different levels of security and ease of use:

VPNs

Most secure method using either built-in NAS VPN services or router VPN capabilities.

• Pros: Highest security level
• Cons: More complex setup

Port Forwarding

Direct connection method that requires router configuration.

• Pros: Fastest connection speeds
• Cons: Requires technical knowledge, potentially less secure if not properly configured

The best method depends on your needs: choose VPN for security, or port forwarding for speed.

NAS-specific hard drives, such as WD Red or Seagate IronWolf, are recommended for their reliability and performance in always-on, multi-user environments. For more, check out: What Drives Should I Use for a NAS?

NAS offers faster local access, one-time costs, and complete control over your data, while cloud storage provides off-site backup and easier remote access. Read more: NAS vs Cloud Storage.

Yes, NAS devices can install and run media server applications like Plex, Emby, and Kodi.Plex is widely used,offering both free and premium features for streaming media to various devices. Emby provides similar functionality with better Kodi integration, while Kodi works as a media player accessing your NAS files directly. The performance of these applications, especially for transcoding, will depend on your NAS's hardware capabilities. For optimal performance with 4K content or multiple simultaneous streams, consider the DXP4800 Plus with its 12th generation 5-core Intel processor.
