PiNAS: Raspberry Pi Based Network Attached Storage (NAS)
Network Attached Storage (NAS) are high-capacity storage devices that are connected to a local home or office network to provide everyone (with designated "clearance") on that network with access to the files on the drive without the need to plug into it directly. This facilitates things...
