Do you ever stress about losing any of your computer files like your photographs, music and videos? Or ever thought it would be sweet to be able to access all of that data from any computing device on your private network?

Perhaps you just purchased a new Television with net connectivity and now you notice how simple it would be to watch slideshows of your baby pictures, holiday pictures or other neat stuff right on your big screen instead of that little picture frame viewer you were given for Christmas one or two years ago.

Home network storage is the way to consolidate your important information in one place so that all of your PCs, laptops, netbooks, even portable devices and TV's can get access to the data conveniently.

How many times have you wondered where a selected file was, searched around for a USB thumb drive to transfer it with once you do find what computer it is on, and then wish it were easier to move files between your PC and your Mac?

A home NAS (network attached storage) device is just the answer.

Not only can your home network storage server be the hub of your network with all of your devices connecting to it to save and retrieve info, but your home NAS also helps protect your data in two ways.

First, a properly configured network storage device will have multiple hard drives in it set up in such a fashion that if one hard disk fails you've not yet lost any data. The NAS can then alert you that you will need to solve the problem BEFORE any data is lost!

Second, should you wisely pick an online backup service to shield your data off site, having all the music libraries, photograph albums, video and financial records stored centrally in one place makes is simple to configure the backup and reassuring that everything you actually care about is being protected.

Home network storage is a smart call, simple to carry out and affordable too.
