For those who don’t know, NAS stands for network attached storage. This is a hard drive that is available to people within your own network. You can password protect the drives from just anyone getting on there.
Another great thing about the Raspberry Pi NAS is that it doesn’t use very much power. This means you can leave it on 24/7 without it costing you a fortune to keep it running.
This may also be referred to a Raspberry Pi samba server because samba is the software package that is used for sharing the drives to the local network.
