About this User Guide
This user guide describes the functionality of the Verbatim PowerBay™ Network
Attached Storage (NAS) array product. The guide provides the information you
will need to install and configure the product based on your specific network

Introduction
The Verbatim PowerBay NAS array provides four disk cartridges configurable in
various RAID levels for superior performance and data redundancy. The PowerBay
NAS array enables you to share documents, files, and digital media with everyone
on the home or office network. Remotely accessing files through the Internet is
also possible with the built-in FTP server. Whether you are allowing access locally
or over the Internet, keep data safe by giving access rights only to specific users or
groups.
When configuring the PowerBay NAS array, you can create users and groups and
assign them to folders with either read or read/write permissions. This is ideal for
an office environment with employee-specific sensitive data or for the home
network. The PowerBay NAS array will be available to any computer (PC, MAC,
or Linux-based) on your network, without the need to install any software on the
computer.
