Keeping your data safe is important. That's why Thecus is manufacturing state-of-the-art devices that make managing your data storage look like a piece of cake! But what do you do when you reach the limit of storage of your hard drives? You could of course by bigger disks, a NAS with more bays or add some external hard drives connected through USB 3.0 or eSATA ports. The cost can add up pretty quick and not everyone can afford all this material.

A more economical and simpler approach to free up some space on your NAS is to transfer your data onto something permanent that can be stored away. Those photos and videos that you haven't watched in years, those projects in 2002 that are no more needed for reference, things you don't want to get rid of because you know the minute you do, Murphy's Law will kick in and you'll need them again.This kind of data can take a lot of place on your hard drives and putting them on CD, DVD or Blu-Ray disc can save you the need to buy bigger disks or additional ones. Storing data on CDs or DVDs, although absolute to some, is a safer way to keep your data for a long time. Hard drives are mechanical and are always subject to failure. Once your data is properly saved onto a DVD, you don't need to worry about this kind of failure anymore, it's there for good.
