I can use Microsoft Windows OS and make One disk as shared disk. Anyone within the Network can access to that. Instead of that i can use FreeNAS and make Network Attached Storage for my network. Apple Windows or Linux can access this storage. that is OK. but what are the benefits of using NAS ?

Benefits of using NAS are:-

  • Add capacity in an affordable way
  • Store and access files from any PC or Mac computer using your existing network, eliminating the need for multiple hard drives
  • Share capacity with other parties (suppliers, customers)
  • Offer full-proof (RAID) central back up, which can be automated, for extra data protection
  • Share a USB printer across your network
  • Automatically and continuously backup your data to give you peace of mind that all of our files are safe and secure
