Network trays are hanging Xiaobian told you to take a file

To be honest, Xiao Bian has always believed that the web disk is not reliable, because the data is shared on the Internet. If you save a software movie and the like, you have no problem, but when you use habits, cultivate your own photos. , music, and even personal information related files, a brain began to save to the network disk, anyway, Xiao Bian feel do not fly. Now it's all right. As the major network disks are gradually shutting down or being used for fees. It seems that it is time to go back to local storage. Today Xiao Bian focuses on local storage and network sharing.

Data storage hard disk box or NAS?

HDD Enclosure VS Hard Disk Mount

The lowest data preservation cost is to buy a hard disk box, and the price is tens of dollars. It can also be conveniently carried at any time. In addition to the HDD enclosure, in fact, there is also a choice of hard disk base. In fact, the base is more suitable for 3.5-inch HDD use, quick insertion and removal, installation and use is also very convenient, especially for 3.5-inch HDD with a mobility requirement of 0. Of course, the hard drive base is also compatible with 2.5-inch hard drives.

If you let Xiao Bian choose, Xiao Bian will prefer to buy hard drive base, because Xiao Bian hard drive mobile portability is not high, easy to install is the most important, and better compatibility (take a 3.5-inch, 2.5-inch hard drive, and Don't worry about hard disk thickness issues). As for the functions of data sharing similar to network disk, Xiao Bian naturally has other methods to achieve.

HDD Enclosure VS NAS

The NAS is even more advanced than the hard disk drive or hard disk drive. Simply put, NAS is a dedicated storage device shared by LANs, and many NASs also have the function of setting up a private cloud disk to implement a dedicated private cloud disk that spans the internal network to the external network.

Not only that, NAS can also implement such functions as off-line downloading, video encoding, streaming media output (media center, video transcoding to the mobile phone for real-time transcoding), online recruitment storage, and so on.

General NAS is divided into 2 bays, 4 bays and even more versions. If it is for home use, Xiao Bian recommends 2 bays is enough; of course, if there is a lot of data, Xiao Bian recommends using 4 bays. However, NAS can be much more expensive than the hard disk drive or hard disk base, and the cheapest is more than a thousand dollars, not including the price of the hard disk.

The so-called penny-and-delivery products, hard disk boxes solve the storage problem more, and the NAS focuses on data management, sharing, and different functional requirements. In a strict sense, it cannot be compared.

How to do sharing?

The biggest role of network disk is not only storage, but more sharing. In the case of many network disks being closed and charged, how to share files?

QQ offline

QQ offline files are undoubtedly the most convenient one-to-one sharing method. Drag and drop to the QQ dialog window to select offline transmission. In this way, the download and upload speeds are all good (the file MD5 is checked when uploading, and part of the content can be transmitted in seconds. The download can usually be full speed). However, it should be noted that the file can only be temporarily stored for 7 days, and it is automatically deleted when it expires.

Mail attachment

In addition to QQ offline, many mailboxes also provide large attachments, which can be used to some extent for data sharing. But similar to QQ offline, the large attachment also has a storage sharing time limit, which is divided into 7 days to 14 days.

BT Sync

In addition to one-to-one sharing, there is no way to achieve the same way as a network disk sharing? Of course, it's hard not to downgrade Xiaobian. It is recommended that you use a software called BT Sync, which can achieve 100% of the network disk sharing function, but also does not require the main server. In fact, BT Sync is the use of P2P shared download principle, is a deformed BT download tool, but it is a version of the network disk. Of course, since we choose to share data, we still advise people not to share the privacy type of files.

NAS built-in cloud disk

Most of today's NAS have the function of sharing network disks, which is equivalent to creating a network disk, but it is controlled by yourself! However, it should be noted that the uploading and downloading of the network disk created in the NAS depends on your bandwidth. Give a chestnut, Xiaobian bandwidth is 200Mbps, upload theory is 2.5MB/s, in such a network bandwidth environment, when others grab (or their own home network in the external network access network NAS) network disk data, their own bandwidth The upload speed is the download speed, which is the highest 2.5MB/s.

In addition to bandwidth constraints, Xiao Bian thinks that in a one-to-many shared network disk, the use of NAS to establish a network disk is the most secure and reliable, after all, control in their own hands, in addition to hacking (Now the security of the NAS system is not (Too bad) Don't worry too much about data security.

In fact, for Xiaobian, after two years of ups and downs in the public network disk, a stable and reliable environment can not be guaranteed (sometimes a network disk exposed the disclosure of user information, a large number of network disk was cracked), and so If you are scared, you may want to consider your own data sharing and preservation methods. If your requirements are limited to saving data, a simple and cheap hard disk drive or hard drive base is sufficient; if it is a need for a certain degree of file sharing, QQ offline, BT Sync is a good choice; then upgrade one step, or honest Really spend money to buy a NAS, in addition to self-built network disk, offline download, media center, etc. can be achieved, is a very good choice.
