The key aspect of NAS is that it is storing data on a server connecting through the Ethernet towards a PC, your NAS unit in fact acting as the server, your PC is a client.

Alright, so here we have the unit shipped in. Our box was a tiny bit beaten up from traveling overseas toward the Netherlands, the hardware arrived in mint condition. Opening up the box you'll notice a very well packaged product. Wrong packaging though, as we did not receive the WiFi version.
We test the iNeo I-NA312N1 NAS enclosure. This NAS unit is relatively cheap to purchase yet does offer all the standard features and requirements you can expect from a decent NAS unit. Full user and group based control, FTP, file sharing all the basics for secure file management. The unit we review today is the I-NA312N1. Plain and simple it holds two HDDs and can be connected within a network with a 1 Gigabit (or slower) network link.
