The NDX-8 comes with Intel Core i3 3.3Ghz Processors,4GB of RAM and enterprise class hard drives.That’s twice the processing power and RAM of other NAS products. Enterprise hard drives are used because they are designed to be used in RAID configurations.Other NAS products use desktop hard drives which are not recommended by any hard drive manufacturer for RAID and may not be warranteed.We also use Windows storage server for the operating system, providing a familiar user interface and compatibility with Windows applications. You can install Microsoft Exchange on our NAS box, which is not possible with Linux based NAS products.Finally – because the NDX-8 uses identical hardware to the NDX-8d the two products integrate seamlessly so you can create a primary storage, back up and disaster recovery d2d2d solution
