Data loss is the worst. Especially if you have home videos and family photographs stored digitally. In addition to having cloud backups, you can now have solutions on your home network such as NAS (network attached storage).

These cool devices are basically giant hard disks that can store all your important files. Many of these devices have multiple hard drive bays so that you can mirror your data over multiple drives (RAID 1). If one fails, the other one is still functioning and the bad drive can be easily replaced and the array can be automatically rebuilt.

As it's local to you, these are generally faster than cloud backups and you can even view contents on smart TVs and other devices. They're also great for small businesses where you may need multiple users accessing shared files.

We can supply and fit a wide range of Synology NAS devices and prices for a 2 TB (2 x 2 TB drives) solution start at £399 configured and fitted.

It goes without saying we are taking all necessary precautions given the current situation and are using sanitation products, gloves and face masks for home/office visits going forward.

If this interests you, please get in touch, and we can discuss your individual needs further.
