FEATURES- 4 Bay Gigabit Network Storage System Chassis with 1.0TB RAID
       The intelligent chassis of the Linksys Network Storage System 
        NSS4100 gives administrators and integrators the flexibility to 
        optimize the NSS for performance, capacity and a company's storage 
        and sharing needs. The NSS4100 includes four (4) 250GB hard drives 
        and supports up to 15 concurrent, connected CIFS (Windows, 
        Macintosh, Linux) users. Linksys NSS products bring robust NAS 
        (Network Attached Storage) within reach of today's budget-minded 
        workgroups and small businesses. They are ideal for storing, 
        backing up, sharing and archiving critical information. The feature 
        set of the NSS series set it apart from entry-level, desktop NAS 
        systems, while at the same time its competitive pricing gives small 
        businesses the opportunity to realize substantial cost savings when 
        compared with more expensive storage systems. 
       Unlike other NAS systems, that need to contain operating system 
        software on one or more hard drives in a NAS system, each Linksys 
        NSS product features a unique and intelligent chassis that contains 
        the Linux OS that controls it. This gives the NSS system added 
        stability and reliability, as well as the flexibility to be 
        configured without connected drives or reconfigured at any time - 
        even hot swapping and resorting hard drives to different storage 
        bays. This flexible architecture makes the Linksys Business Series 
        NSS series ideally suited for budget-conscious companies that are 
        constantly growing and evolving. 
       Linksys Business Series NSS products are also Linksys One Ready. 
        That means they include the necessary firmware to be integrated 
        into a Linksys One data or data/voice network. 
    Includes NSS4100 4 Bay Gigabit Network Storage System Chassis, (4) 3.5 
      inch SATA Drive Carrier Trays (with 250GB SATA Hard Drives), AC Power
