A four-bay portable NAS with M.2 storage and a built-in network switch. Network-attached storage has evolved to such an extant that today's servers can be thought of as the swiss army knife of computing devices.

They are, in short, a useful addition to any home or office.

And given that there tends to be little romance surrounding these units - they're typically small black boxes that mainstream users could easily overlook - there's real benefit in being able to stand out from the crowd.
