Increase file storage and available disk space
You can increase file storage space for data and results files with a Torrent Storage™ NAS (Network Attached Server) device, your own network access storage (NAS) device, or a USB drive.
After one or more of these storage drives has been installed and configured, you can use the drive to save data locally in the lab, transfer data between servers, store data with disk failure tolerance, and expand storage space.
