Omaha, NE (PRWEB) May 23, 2007 -- Secure data storage and backup solutions for PCs and networks recently become one of the top priorities for consumers, businesses educational and government entities alike. Storage and backup systems have always been an expensive investment that often required a professional installation ... until now. "The Memory Place" at BuyMemory.com (http://www.buymemory.com), a well-known distributor of computer upgrades, has now become the premiere online source for data storage and backup devices. They offer a variety of easy-to-use data storage solutions to fit nearly any application or budget.

These new storage devices from "The Memory Place" have never been easier to setup and install. Many models are functional right out of the box by simply plugging them into a PC and power outlet. Models range from USB and Firewire external hard drives for a single PC, to fully expandable, multi-drive Network Attached Storage (NAS) units with RAID capabilities. Such storage devices were previously used for only high-end business applications.

The most simple, external hard drive storage units (http://www.theupgradeplace.com/catalog/External-Hard-Drives-orderby0-p-1-c-500.html) units connect directly to any individual PC and are great for home as well as small business use. They have become especially popular with the home office or sole proprietor users such as photographers and graphic artists where the demand for storage is high and the budget is low. These high-speed, portable hard drives plug into your computer's USB or Firewire port (and an AC power outlet), instantly adding up to an unprecedented 2 Terabytes of storage space to your system.

Single-drive external hard drives are currently available from 250GB up to 750GB with an industry first, 1 Terabyte (single internal drive) model available in June. Multi-drive USB 2.0 storage units are also popular in RAID capable, dual and quad drive models for maximum redundancy and capacity of up to 2 Terabytes, at a minimum cost. Every model comes with free, automated backup software; some even offer free tech support and online access to your photos, music or other files from anywhere you have internet access.

For more demanding network environments, Network Attached Storage (NAS) (http://www.theupgradeplace.com/catalog/Network-Storage-NAS-orderby0-p-1-c-600.html) devices pack that extra punch with more powerful features, added flexibility and full network backup capabilities, which used to be reserved only for corporate IT departments. NAS devices completely eliminate the need for a PC by connecting directly to the network via a Cat5 network cable. These versatile storage drives allow users to store, share and backup files and even entire PCs anywhere on the network.

Available in single and multi-drive models, NAS devices also eliminate the need for a costly storage server and are ready to use right out of the box. The setup wizard and intuitive web interface allow for a painless installation of basic network storage with scheduled backups of the entire network. Capacities range from 250GB up to 3 Terabytes and are fully expandable by simply connecting more storage units together. Advanced features include RAID 0/1/5/10, expandability with USB 2.0 ports, a built-in FTP server, print server, Active Directory support and replaceable internal hard drives. All NAS devices come with free, easy-to-use automated network backup software, so you don't need to outsource technical help.
