2.How is Classic SL Network Drive different from NAS or SAN?

Classic SL Network Drive is a good alternative to NAS or SAN. Classic SL Network Drive is much more cost-effective, efficient and easy to use. It is for users looking for lower costs and storage associated with backup / archiving.

Although both Classic SL Network Drive and NAS are storage devices that are implemented over a network, Classic SL Network Drive takes up less space than NAS or SAN products. Classic SL Network Drive utilizes NDAS technol- ogy - allowing it to connect the hard disk directly to a network without a server. In NAS, the hard disk must be connected to a storage server, which must also be connected to the network.

3. For NDAS mode, do I need drivers installed on each computer using Classic SL Network Drive?

Yes, the drivers need to be loaded on each computer that want access to Classic SL Network Drive. However, if you are using Windows Sharing, only one computer will need the software installed. The other computers will not need it.
