What about the transfer of data associated with replacement of a PC?There is a convenient and secure QNAP NAS even in the Windows 11 era!(Page 1/4)

　On October 5, the new OS "Windows 11" has finally appeared.The general support deadline for "Windows 10", which many users are currently using, can be seen until October 14, 2025.With the appearance of the new OS, many people are considering "I want to buy a new PC that suits the telework!"

　However, the transfer of data when replacing a PC is quite troublesome.In many cases, important videos and photos data and unnecessary data are "cobblestone mixed".If you think that you have to copy the data that "I have no time to check everything, and some things that are not troubled even if it is gone", I feel heavy.

　How about entrusting all data at hand to the NAS?In this article, we will introduce various products that help the QNAP NAS kit "TS-253D".

Even if you buy a new PC, the data has many merits of NAS!

　As mentioned earlier, the transfer of PC data is a very troublesome task.In particular, if you use your PC in a standalone, in other words, all data is accumulated, you tend to have a large and large -capacity data such as photos, videos, and music.Photos and videos are often "unique and only" data, and it is not realistic to check the whole amount of "this data, I don't need it" every time the data is moved.

　I want to save the trouble of transferring data due to a replacement of PCs -I would like to recommend the NAS installed in the home network (LAN).I think some people are thinking about USB memory and USB connection HDD / SSDs for data migration, but NAS has some benefits not found in these external storage.

データを移し替える必要がない

　After buying a new PC, I think many people change data from old PCs using USB memory or USB connection HDD / SSD.If you are a little familiar, you can use LAN to transfer data with a "shared folder" function such as Windows.However, it is frank and troublesome to "relocate" every time you buy a new PC.

　In that regard, if one NAS is prepared and the data is transferred once, then the data can be accessed by accessing the NAS.There is a hassle of transferring data to the NAS, but after that, it saves the trouble of transferring data to a new PC.

複数の機器から同時利用できる

　NAS is a "server" for sharing and using storage via a network.

　QNAP's home NAS kit is compatible with major communication protocols such as "SMB", "AFP", "NFS", and "WebDAV".Therefore, it can be accessed not only from PCs equipped with Windows, MacOS, and Linux, but also from smartphones and tablets with Android and iOS / iPados.It can be used conveniently when accessing saved data from multiple PCs, smartphones and tablets.

24時間／365日使える

　Some say, "How about setting a" shared folder "on a PC instead of NAS?"However, general PCs do not assume that they will always be operated with power.Therefore, if you use a PC instead of a server, the life may be faster than expected.

　In that regard, the NAS is designed to be continuously operating 24 hours a day / 365 days.It can be operated with confidence than using a PC shared folder.Some say, "Is power consumption OK?", But the NAS for home, especially for home, has low original power consumption and has a substantial function to control power consumption.You don't have to be so anxious.

　If you want to prepare a storage that can be accessed from any device at home, NAS is useful.

PCから離れた場所に設置できる

　A typical external storage needs to be connected to a notebook PC with a USB cable.On the other hand, by connecting to the LAN port of the Wi-Fi router, the NAS allows you to read and write data from anywhere in the house through Wi-Fi.It is a great advantage that data exchanges can be done with cableless.

安全性／耐久性が高い

　External storage has the risk of dropping it when carrying.In particular, in the case of an external HDD, there is no denying that data cannot be read due to the damage caused by falling.

　In that regard, since the NAS is presumed to be kept unchanged, it is possible to enhance safety by installing it in consideration of earthquake resistance in stable places.Since it has a cooling performance assuming continuous operation, there is no abnormally high temperature like some external storage.

可用性が高い

　External storage is likely to lose data if it breaks down.

　However, the NAS, which has two or more bays, supports "RAID1", which does not lose data even if one disc is broken.In addition, the NAS with a bay that exceeds it often supports "RAID5", "RAID6", and "RAID10", which have more data efficiency and more reliable.

　Now that we can see the end of Windows 10 support, why not try the data "separate" from client devices such as PCs and leave it to NAS, which is a dedicated device?
