Synology, QNAP, Asustor, Netgear and WD. They're some of the main players in the NAS market. We haven't yet had the opportunity of testing a NAS device from Seagate, a company responsible for about half of the world's hard disks. Granted, the French NAS...

Seagate's latest NAS in a box reminds me of an old-school modem in its physical design, but underneath the solid construction lies a fairly powerful if not always fully functional device.There's only so much you can do with a hard drive to make it look at...
NAS devices aren't exciting in the physical sense, just like backup is one of those topics that nobody ever really wants to talk about. I can't say the Central is an exciting gadget in that context, but it's certainly a mostly functional one as long as yo...
