The NAS box comes in many shapes, sizes and configurations and from my experience most all of them are very useful. Seagate is a huge storage company and it’s a just a logical next step for them to produce their own NAS box. Up for review today is the NAS 220, which is a 6tb NAS box, it has two Seagate 3tb drives inside of it in a default Raid 1 configuration for a usable capacity of 3tb which can be a lot. The NAS 220 can be utilized in the home or even an office where access to your files would be needed, either on your network or access while you’re away.
