To avoid damaging your DAS's file system, follow the instructions below to properly disconnect the device from
Filebrowser ingest. Use the Filebrowser to copy data from your USB storage to the NAS. Ingest is a good
.option when copying select files or images. For example, ingest images from a camera. See
Backup Manager backup. Use Backup Manager to back up all or select files stored on your USB storage.
You can take an inventory of available multimedia files on your NAS and all connected DAS. See
iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) provides local storage performance for network shares
similar to that of a traditional direct attached storage device (DAS). A DAS can be an external hard drive such
as a disk that connects via USB. NAS OS can reserve all or part of a volume as an iSCSI volume for a computer to
use via the network. The computer that connects to the iSCSI volume is called the initiator. The iSCSI volume is
called the target. When the initiator connects to the target, the computer reads and writes to the iSCSI volume
iSCSI works on top of the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) and allows SCSI commands to be sent along a local
area networks (LAN), wide area network (WAN) or the Internet. It transports block-level data between an
iSCSI initiator (client computer) and an iSCSI target (storage device). The iSCSI protocol is made of SCSI
Since it accesses data at the block level, iSCSI can offer enhanced performance for your NAS. Further, iSCSI
writes data directly to the volume rather than at the file level placing a lower demand upon the NAS OS device.
