NDAS vs NAS
|
|
|
|
Next generation advanced technology
|
Based on old technology (PC file sharing) |
Higher performance (up to 6 times faster) |
Lower and limited performance |
RAID, Aggregation, Mirroring, Unlimited expansion |
Not possible between multiple NAS systems |
Simple, easy, no need IP setting |
Complex, Difficult, IP setting, DHCP setting required |
Strong security (Limited to local network, safe from Internet hacking) |
Weak security (Open to the Internet) |
Block level storage (user has full control of storage) |
Folder sharing (users can not format, partition or choose other file systems, etc.) |
Multimedia application, most suitable for multi-media |
Can not support enough performance for multimedia |
Consumer electronics compatibility |
More difficult to use with consumer electronics |
Cost-effective, simple structure, fewer sources of problems |
High cost, complex structure, more sources of problems |
NDAS vs. Mini-NAS Comparison
Category |
NDAS |
Mini-NAS |
|
|
|
Direct connection for direct file transfer
|
|
No Mini-NAS must be connected to a network to access any files.
|
|
No DHCP or TCP/IP settings required. Drivers must be installed to all clients.
|
One time DHCP, TCP/IP settings required.
|
|
User Friendly NetISK appears in a PC just like an ordinary internal drive.
|
Configuration for networking is required. (usually done automatically via software)
|
|
High Fundamental access control options : No Access / Read Only / Full Access Security through directory and file level.
|
Low No fundamental access control Security through directory level.
|
Mirroring / RAID 0 / RAID 5
|
|
|
Performance (Gigabit Test)
|
40-60 MB / s Fast file transfer, even when multi-users have access .
|
5-13 MB / s Performance drops when multi-users access Mini-NAS storage.
|
|
Easy / Unlimited Just plug in additional NetDisk to the network. NetDISK's Bind Manger will configure in few minutes.
|
