Abstract
This paper is going to talk about the What is a NAS device? What is the speed of the network adapter available on a NAS device? What is the capacity range? Is there any fault tolerance built into a NAS device? And are management features available? Also it will talk about why a user would want to use a NAS.

Network Attached Storage
Network-attached storage is file-level computer data storage connected to a computer network providing data access to a heterogeneous group of clients. For the speed of the network adapter on a NAS device is the speed is typically one gigabit Ethernet connection but this can be changed to multiple gigabit, 10 gigabit, fiber optic by adding a PCI-e network card(s). Older parts can be used which may be limited to 10/100 megabit. As fault tolerance, raid 50 is fairly stable if set up correctly, raid 10 has been touted as one of the best setups since more drives can fail at one time without data loss. All of those features can be used on typical NAS devices. Are management features available? The answer is yes. Because
