hard drives to the USB ports.
2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiating Ethernet ports allow the
NSA to detect the speed of incoming transmissions and adjust
appropriately without manual intervention. They allow data transfers
of either 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex
mode depending on your Ethernet network. Use 8-wire Ethernet
cables for Gigabit connections. The ports are also auto-crossover
(MDI/MDI-X) meaning it automatically adjusts to either a crossover or
straight-through Ethernet cable.

Backup
Create separate archive backups or synchronize a copy.
Snapshot
A snapshot is a backup of your NSA data on the NSA. If files within a
volume become infected or corrupted, you can revert the volume back
to a previous snapshot. It’s a good idea to create a snapshot before
backing up data, to be sure you’re backing up consistent data even if
the backup is still running several hours later.
