A NAS is a network attached storage, kind of like a USB HDD except that it is an intelligent device, can function independently of your PC, and can do a lot more, like media streaming, automatic data backup from PC, smartphone, automatic data backup to your public cloud account, etc. ,etc.
ReadyNAS 214 is a prosumer product with 4 hard drives in the device. The 4 hard drives provide not just capacity, but redundancy so that any one HDD fails, your data is still good.
In short, ReadyNAS 214 makes you happy. :-)
