-	There are many options available ranging from self-installation to fully technician-serviced solutions. These systems can offer storage up to 50 ~~TeraBytes~~ of data and beyond. They are designed to be implemented in office or distributed environments that require a huge amount of data. The hard drives in these solutions are often implemented in a RAID 5 array which allows for redundant backup to prevent data loss due to individual hard drive failure.	+	There are many options available ranging from self-installation to fully technician-serviced solutions.

	There are many options available for residential NAS solutions. Off the shelf solutions such as hard drive enclosures and plug-and-play devices are the most user-friendly and simplest to implement. However, these solutions are also the most costly. <BR>		There are many options available for residential NAS solutions.

-	A basic NAS device can be built very cheaply with discarded computer components if a large enough computer tower is available. It is not recommended to use Laptop Personal Computers as NAS devices due to heat generated and limited processing capability. Tutorials are available ~~online~~ and ~~are~~ included ~~in the "External Links" section~~ below.	+	A basic NAS device can be built very cheaply with discarded computer components if a large enough computer tower is available.
