HDD and SSD drives are used for permanent storage of data on computers and laptops. But what are the differences between the two, and what are their advantages?

It is a standardized disk size, in inches. The most widespread formats of disks are 3.5 "(desktop computers, servers, NAS) and 2.5" (laptops).

Color finish of the disc. This does not affect functionality. 

Defines which maximum capacity of the installed hard disks NAS supports. This value can often be increased by installing the latest version of the device firmware.

The system RAM of external data storage devices determines the speed and efficiency of data processing. Higher RAM capacity means better multitasking and faster response times for demanding operations such as streaming media or working with large databases.

Manufacturer's recommended use - corporate deployments require high transmission speed or a higher number of disks, for home, use just a simpler model.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) on NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices allows direct connection to a TV, monitor or AV receiver to play media content stored on the NAS. This feature is ideal for users who want to use their NAS as a media center to stream videos, music or browse photos in full HD or 4K resolution without the need for an additional computer or media player.

Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCiE) slots on NAS devices provide the ability to expand the functionality of the device by adding various cards such as network cards for faster Ethernet connections, cards for connecting external hard drives or SSDs to increase overall capacity and performance. PCiE slots offer high flexibility and the ability to customize the NAS device to meet specific user needs.
