| What is the difference between NDAS and other network storage solution (NAS) |
| |
| NDAS technology is the world's most advanced and smart network storage solution. Other competitor network storage solutions like NAS are still based on decade-old technology. Consequently, NDAS enables many advanced features and a higher performance standard which other solutions are not able to provide. |

Core Merits of NDAS |
| |
Easy Setup |
|
There is no need to configure TCP/IP settings. Just install the included driver and software and you are ready to use. |
|
|
Easy Use |
|
NetDisk works just as your local drive. No complicated file sharing configuration is needed. Use NetDisk just like your local drive over the network and save and share everything easily. |
|
|
Scalability |
|
NetDisk is designed for expansion. Add additional NetDisk to your network as your storage need grows. No complicated configuration is required. Plug additional NetDisk to your network, now you are ready to use extra storage. |
|
|
Professional Features |
|
With two or more NetDisks on the network, you can enjoy all the professional features like aggregation, mirroring, and striping. RAID features makes NetDisk even more reliable storage solution for your Home and Office network. |
|
|
Controlled Security |
|
NetDisk has unique security features attributed by its unique protocol. NetDisk is invisible from Internet or to those who do not have its unique device ID. |

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 |
|
|
|
|
Network Ability |
|
|
Direct connection for direct file transfer |
|
Mini-NAS must be connected to a network to access any files.
|
Installation |
No DHCP or TCP/IP settings required.
Drivers must be installed to all clients.
|
One time DHCP, TCP/IP settings required.
|
Usage |
NetDisk appears in a PC just like an ordinary internal drive.
|
Configuration for networking is Required. (usually done automatically via software)
|
Security |
Fundamental access control options :
No Access / Read Only / Full Access
Security through directory and file level.
|
No fundamental access control
Security through directory level.
|
Mirroring / RAID 0 / RAID 5 |
|
|
Performance (Gigabit Test) |
Fast file transfer, even when multi-users have access .
|
Performance drops when multi-users access Mini-NAS storage.
|
Expansion |
Just plug in additional NetDisk to the network. NetDisk's Bind Manger will configure in few minutes.
|
Requires advanced and complicated configuration to expand storage. For each expansion of the storage, new configuration is required.
|
Maintenance |
|
|
| |
Application
|
Simple network storage for documents, digital photos, and backups.
|
|
|
|
Yes |
Multimedia |
Excellent performance for multimedia storage and sharing. Suitable for network jukebox or Media-Server.
|
Not suitable for multimedia.
DVD quality Video files cannot be streamed over network due to slow performance.
