Hi,
I'm looking for a home solution for 2 win10 laptops to share the same central storage / files, but would prefer on premisis rather than paid for cloud solution. Is it a NAS I should be looking for?

Thanks,

John

A NAS is exactly what you're looking for. However, before you go out and purchase a NAS, check to see if your router has a USB port on it. If it does, it may have the ability for you to plug a drive into that USB port and share it over the network.

Thanks for a super quick reply, great idea to share a USB from the router, I hadn't considered that. I guess I was thinking of a NAS (RAID) to provide redundancy.

I don't support you could recommend a 2 bay NAS or are they all pretty much the same.

Thanks,

John
