Zyxel has released a 4-Bay personal cloud storage device, the NAS540. This Network Attached Storage is compatible with multiple storage devices and platforms and is equipped with up to 24 TB of storage capacity. The NAS allows users to secure files from any possible loss and to consolidate file management with greater mobility and convenience at extreme speeds.
 
“The emergence of mobile devices and cloud services makes daily communication instant and convenient. The files stored on computers, phones, tablets to cloud drives are the pieces that make up our life, yet managing them often feels like a challenge. Add in unanticipated device failure and you have a recipe for disaster,” said senior technical officer Yogesh Singh.
 
“Imagine a little box that accommodates all your life’s pieces and guards them in a secure place. Network capability allows it to sync and back-up data from all your devices, so you always have access to your personal cloud. You have it now – Zyxel’s 4-Bay Personal Cloud Storage,” said Madhukar Swayambhu, Sales Vice President.
 
“This new storage device is your personal cloud for easy and secure remote file access, backup, syncing and sharing. By obtaining a free DDNS service from Zyxel, users can create a personalized link that directs to their remote Zyxel NAS540 from any computer with Internet connection. Using Zyxel zCloud 2.0, users can access files with their Android or iOS devices, or use the devices to play the files stored in the NAS on big screens. Plus with the own Cloud application, users can utilize the NAS540 to sync files with Windows, MAC OS X, Android, iOS and even Linux computers,” says Yogesh Singh.
 
NAS540 is also compatible with popular cloud platforms, including Google Drive and many more. NAS540 also comes with RAID 1, 5, 6 or 10 support. This feature offers rock-solid protection from any hard-disk failures. In case any one of the disks fails, users can still access files and restore normal RAID protection with the failed disk replaced.
 
“Carrying a 1.2 GHz dual-core CPU and 1 GB of DDR3 RAM, Zyxel’s NAS540 helps users handle intensive and frequent network data management. It is equipped with RAID-5 configuration, two Ethernet LAN ports with link aggregation capability, fast USB 3.0 ports, and an SD card slot with the latest SDXC support. The device can deliver up to 130MB/second of reading, 48MB/second of writing speed and blink-of-an-eye access to transfer your high-resolution photographs from USB drives or cameras,” says Yogesh Singh.
 
NAS540 has HDD support up to 24 TB. In other words, it can store around 6,000 pieces of movie, 4 million pieces of music, or 6 million pieces of photographs. It can literally store every file you need for work or leisure.
