First of all, that thing is not a NAS by any definition. NAS stands for "Network Attached Storage". This thing is an external hard drive. It does not have any network ports on it. It uses USB, which makes it very slow compared to an actual NAS. The only way to make it available on a network is to share from a computer or have a router with USB ports specifically for sharing external HDD's.

The product listing doesn't call it a NAS, Western Digital doesn't call it that, the writer of the article made that up on their own.
