  What is NAS?
Posted by: ed - 02-24-2020, 10:19 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

NAS is virtually a network-attached hard drive. Instead of plugging it into your computer, it is accessible over the network or even internet just like Dropbox. It is usually having two or more drives inside the case and it protects your data even if one or more drives get broken. Kind of magic, but it is called RAID protection.Sound encrypted, I know. But in human language it means:RAID1 - two disks mirroring each other, if one gets damaged other still has a copy of your dataRAID5 - also a single disk failure protection. For 3 or more disks.RAID6 - two disk failure protection. For 4 or more disks.

How to Set Up Synology in the way i want. For instance; My model 1621s+
I want to connect an Ethernet cable from my router to my Synology, and then I would like to take another Ethernet cable and connect it to my PC from that Synology NAS to continue sharing the internet. In simple words: Home Router -> Synology NAS-> to PC in order to have both internet and direct connection between my PC and NAS.
How to use NAS to get the Internet to my PC with using an additional switch?
