NAS by site
Most NAS units are sold diskless. Budget for NAS-rated drives.
| Site | Choose | Why | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small office, shared files | 2-bay desktop NAS, RAID 1 | Mirrored drives protect against a single failure | View range |
| Growing office | 4-bay desktop NAS, RAID 5 or 6 | More capacity with drive redundancy | View range |
| Backup target for servers | Rack NAS with RAID 6 | Survives two drive failures | View range |
RAID protects against a drive failing, not against deletion or ransomware. Keep a separate backup.
Frequently asked questions
Are drives included?
Usually not. Most NAS units are sold diskless; add NAS-rated drives such as internal hard drives designed for 24/7 use.
Is a NAS a backup?
Only if it holds a copy of data that lives elsewhere. Files that exist only on the NAS need their own backup, ideally off site or in the cloud.
Can we buy on account?
Yes. A trade account gives access to trade pricing, bulk discounts and credit of up to £20,000, with a named account manager for repeat orders.
Equipping a whole team?
Trade pricing on volume, credit up to £20,000 and a dedicated account manager.
