Network attached storage (NAS) devices are extremely helpful for people who frequently use more than one computer, it has been claimed.
Writing for Computer Active, IT commentator Tim Smith said keeping track of important files "can become a nightmare" in this scenario.
"If you are organised it is possible to keep all your important data on just one computer attached to the home or office network, but electricity bills aside, this is something of a sledgehammer to crack a nut," he claimed.
"In many cases, a better option is to invest in an NAS drive – also known as a network hard disk."
Mr Smith explained that these unobtrusive boxes provide a central repository for files so they can be easily accessed by any PC connected to the same network.
NAS drives are cheaper and more convenient than relying on a PC to store files and use less power, he added.
All the customer needs to do is connect the NAS to the network via a network cable, and then use the supplied software to make the necessary configurations.
The network attached storage device should be set up next to the router in a location that is cool, unlikely to be knocked and with good ventilation, Mr Smith claimed.
