Processor 草榴社区 for Network Attached Storage

Overview

Network attached storage (NAS) allows users to share storage over a common network. NAS typically requires a higher level of processing performance to handle increased data bandwidth from wired/wireless communication links as well as RAID data traffic to and from off-chip ASICs.
