The files are protected, located in one spot, and can be retrieved quickly. Plus, with a NAS connected to my home’s network router, I can easily share my digital memories with just a few clicks. It’s radically simplified my life by making it a cinch to organize all my files. It’s a networked storage center that allows for sharing digital photos, music, and movies/videos, and backs up home computers. So what’s the antidote for my memory stick woes? The QNAP Network Attached Storage Device, or NAS for short.

I wanted to find a solution that would keep my data well protected and organized, as well as easy to use and painless to set up for a tech novice like myself. Realizing that this is a problem, I started investigating better storage options. Lose or break one, and poof, an entire vacation’s worth of photos is gone in the blink of an eye. They are also easily damaged and, like loose change, they sometimes end up in the wash. They are easy to misplace and keep well organized. While memory sticks can be useful, they also have some drawbacks. For years, these little sticks have been our go-to devices to store our multimedia collection-music, videos, photos and other forms of entertainment-as well as important documents. If your household is like mine, you probably have a collection of memory sticks floating around inside drawers, coat pockets, backpacks and car glove compartments.
