Copy or sync files directly from the NSA to compatible USB
devices like card readers, MP3 players, mass storage
devices, and digital cameras without using a computer. Copy
or sync files directly from a USB device to the NSA.
Expand the NSA's storage capacity with compatible USB
devices (like hard drives).
The 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiating Ethernet port
allows the NSA to detect the speed of incoming
transmissions and adjust appropriately without manual
intervention. It allows data transfer of either 100 Mbps or
1000 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode
depending on your Ethernet network. Use an 8-wire
Ethernet cable for Gigabit connections. The port is also auto-
crossover (MDI/MDI-X) meaning it automatically adjusts to
either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.
Actual data throughput varies depending on the network
conditions and environmental factors, including volume of
network traffic, network overhead and building materials.
The NSA supports two SATA II interfaces (backwards
compatible to SATA). Serial ATA is a low cost interface
technology that allows high speed data transfer. Serial ATA
also allows more efficient internal airflow and smaller
chassis design.
