What is Enjay NAS OS (or how do I use it) :

  • Enjay NAS OS comes pre-installed on a 1 gb IDE dom (Disk on Module).
  • Since it is a IDE DOM it can fit on any IDE port of your PC (which is now a NAS device).
  • For storage purpose you may use IDE / SATA or SCSI hard-disks..
  • After you plug it in your PC restart your PC.
  • Now you just need to configure the IP address of the OS.
  • Once IP is configured this NAS Device can be monitored from any web browser from any PC on your network.
  • So, you see it is very simple isnt it ?

  • NAS (Network Attached Storage) Device is a storage Device.
  • It cannot run any applications like our normal server, it can only store files.
  • Just imagine that you have hard-disks from all your computers and put in to one device that can manage Hard-disks much efficiently.
  • Since this Device has to do only Data storage and nothing else, it can do it very very efficiently and FAST.
  • This device comes without hard-disk, you can plan and select hard-disk according to your requirement.
