NAS for small print shop - Enquiries - 01-12-2024

Hello,

I own a print/sign shop. No employees. I have 2 design computers and 2 print computers on 2 different floors of my building.

I'm looking for a reasonably priced NAS to be able to save my print files from my design computers and be able to access them from my other computers.


I've been using a 1tb Sandisk portable SSD to to save files but having to plug it in every time is getting annoying.

My print files are never very big so 20tb storage would be plenty

I was looking into the WD My Cloud Pro Series PR2100 with 20tb but I am absolutely clueless.

Is there a better alternative?

Thank you
