Any sifu can enlighten.... thanks

the requirement mainly more on file (different file format like microsoft office, pdf, jpeg, etc) sharing (store & retrieve) among PCs within the same network. No need very high spec. but lately NAS become hot topics in the market so just wondering is NAS able to do the same job or home server still the best in term of versatility and most importantly cost effectiveness.

Many thanks for the replies and hope to gather more specification info and recommendation....have a great day ahead guys....cheers

can recommend brand/model/price in the market ?

Thanks guys for the replies again. When files are getting more and more, it is difficult to manage on pc or hard disk alone. A simple file server is definitely help besides cloud like google or Dropbox.

For a sme business like us, it serve our purpose whereby everyone can share the file simultaneously and do not need to invest a server that cost a bomb to us.

If NAS is the right solution, any particular cons that we need to take note. Thanks for the advices again

Thanks

Thanks for enlighten.

I will get below spec....will it sufficient for start up ? and if let say would like to expand it in 3-4 years later, should I need to buy a new NAS ?
