Need to boost your NAS capacity?
Need to upgrade your NAS? What kind of NAS?
Of course you know Seagate makes some of the most respected Network Attached Storage solutions (NAS) out there today, with models specialized to serve whatever your varied business needs may be.
But let’s say — just for the sake of argument — maybe you’ve worked with other NAS providers who do the job well for you; maybe you have some great NAS units already in your employ — and maybe you need to scale those up a bit with new capacity.
What internal drives should you use?
Did you know, you ought not stick just any 3.5-inch internal drive into your NAS? Please!

Who is John Paulsen? A former small-business leader myself, I feel your pain (and joy) and hope you’ll enjoy the blog. I launched and ran a well-regarded production company in San Francisco with a team of 9 brilliant, hard working people. I learned to manage a wide array of tasks a small business must handle — business strategy, facilities design, HR, payroll, taxes, marketing, all the way down to choosing telecom equipment and spec’ing a server system to help my team collaborate in real-time on dense media projects from multiple production rooms. I’ve partnered with and learned from dozens of small business owners.
