CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your NSA
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the NSA (Network Storage
Appliance).
Note: Snapshot and RAID 0 are not supported by the NSA in the first release, but
they are included here as they will be supported in a later release.
1.1 NSA Overview
An NSA is an optimized system for storing and sharing data. The NSA-2400 has its own
operating system, integrated hardware and software, and connects directly to your network to
provide file-level access to data.
It supports SATA-1 compatible (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) hard disk serial
links, and RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) file storage systems. If configured
in fault-tolerant RAID 1 or 5 mode, your data is still protected even if one hard disk fails.
You can also expand capacity by attaching compatible USB (version 2) drives to the USB
ports.
The appliance also comes with a Gigabit Ethernet port to ensure maximum-speed file access
and backup over your network.
See the appendices for a detailed list of product specifications.
