1. Introduction

The Gigabit SATA NAS addresses the growing need for shared network storage in the

home and small/medium sized business environments. NAS has the advantage of being

easy to use, manage and simple in design. Files can be shared between computers

regardless of the operating system they are using or the network server they are

attached to. This solution provides a convenient common storage resource. Networked

storage can be used in the following ways:

At the home:

- Store media files for networked MP3/Media players and computers

- Backup your home computers

- Share files, media, and pictures with all of your networked computers

- Make files available when you are away from home

- Run an FTP server without leaving your computer on

- Have personal/private storage for each family member

In the office:

- Provide personal/private storage for employees

- Run an FTP server for file upload and download

- Share files between different operating systems

- Backup data from networked PCs and Macs

- Backup data from other servers
