Data backup is one of the prime concerns of most professionals today. Cloud storage is not always a feasible choice, and a local setup is often faster and more customizable. Whether you are a professional who needs to keep a secure backup of all your work files, a movie and music freak who is running out of storage space on the computer, or a small company looking for an affordable and reliable data storage solution, the Seagate NAS Pro 2-Bay is just the answer that you are looking for, and provides you an easy way to store all your important files and documents. The 8 TB storage means that you can save large amounts of work on the device, and access it with ease thanks to its easy network access features.
Seagate has designed the NAS Pro 2-Bay to ensure that it keeps the 2 hard disks safe, while making the device look cool despite its black box like design. The all black design of the NAS comes with a small LCD display that glows with a lot of information that you can customize, and catches the eye instantly. The device weighs 3.5 KG and with a dimension of 4.7×8.5×6.8 inches it can be safely tucked away in some corner.
