NAS storage capacity is expanded by simply adding more disks to the appliance. Obviously, this only allows users to scale up to the capacity limit of the appliance. NAS gateways overcome these inherent limitations of scale and flexibility by utilizing externally connected storage.

You'll also find a series of specifications to help make on-the-spot product comparisons between vendors.
