Network Attached Storage
Some Network Attached Storage drives, or NAS drives, have built-in DLNA servers. Others can be put together using a
NAS enclosure and a hard drive purchased separately. It is recommended to put the customer’s media on a NAS drive so
the content can be accessed at any time, and can also serve as a backup of the media. Here are some examples of NAS
drives:
