The NAS Pro 6-bay features hardware, software and Seagate drives designed to work together seamlessly, which reduces your setup time to just a few minutes and delivers reliable performance for years to come. In addition, Seagate runs hours of extensive tests on every NAS Pro 6-bay before it leaves the manufacturing facility, to further ensure the system is running at its best.The NAS Pro 6-bay runs Seagate NAS OS 4 software, completely designed from the ground up to deliver ease of use, performance, reliability and a flexible platform for running add-on apps, enabling you to do more with your NAS.Built with the powerful processor specifically for NAS, ample memory and dual Gigabit Ethernet connections, the NAS Pro 6-bay delivers the performance needed for data-intensive business tasks, such as photo and video editing, accessing large databases, or multiple simultaneous PC/Mac backups. With powerful hardware inside, the NAS Pro 6-bay is a great multi-tasker and can run multiple NAS OS 4 add-on apps simultaneously for increased productivity.Drives are the core of any high-capacity storage solution and Seagate delivers a specialized drive specifically for NAS systems. Seagate NAS HDD drives, included with the NAS Pro 6-bay, are engineered to run 24×7 to deliver the performance needed by various business applications, yet run cooler than other drives on the market. Furthermore, NAS HDD drives are rated for higher reliability than a standard desktop drive, offering more protection for your business's critical files.The storage volume on the NAS Pro 6-bay is preconfigured, which can save you hours of setup time compared to traditional RAID configurations. If you choose to purchase the diskless model or want to change the default configuration, SimplyRAID technology is offered to speed up and simplify that process too. SimplyRAID technology, built into the NAS OS software, will help you choose the RAID configuration that is best for your business by balancing performance, capacity and redundancy. Another benefit from SimplyRAID technology is the ability to begin storing files and using the NAS instantly after choosing your preferred configuration. No more waiting hours or days for the RAID volume to build!One of the best things about owning a NAS is the ability to collaborate, share and access files from anywhere when on-the-go. Seagate enhances that experience with Seagate Sdrive software for PC, Mac, Android, iPhone and iPad. The Sdrive software for PC and Mac gives you the most intuitive access to the files stored on your NAS from anywhere you have an Internet connection. Sdrive software makes the NAS appear as another drive connected to your computer, so you can drag-and-drop, view thumbnails and open files with your favorite programs. All files are encrypted before they leave the NAS and only the Sdrive app on your mobile device, combined with your user credentials, can decrypt and access the files.
