NTRODUCTION
NAS is short for "Network attached Storage", which is used to name a specialized device that
offers mass storage towards a data network. SOHO NAS like the ICY BOX
IB‐NAS5520 are small devices that simply share data from HDDs to an Ethernet. There are many
approaches; some are using custom shaped methods in offering the storage space to the network
participants. This approach needs special software to be installed on the network clients and in
es is limited to most cas one particular operating system.
The ICY BOX IB‐NAS5520 has chosen to offer the HDD space in the way common operating
systems are expecting it. This means it uses the same principles (protocols) to offer HDD‐Storage
as common file servers are doing it but with less noise, lower power consumption and in a much
simpler way. The main advantage is that, that special software is unnecessary to access the
storage provided.
