Do I need knowledge of computers to own and use a NAS?

A NAS device does not require a degree in computer technology to operate. With many of the new operating systems NAS manufacturers are using, you can easily and effectively setup and use a NAS device without needing to hire a system administrator. Some users will have more demanding specifications and requirements for the NAS and the environment it will be installed into, but they will usually have a network administrator on-site or have outsourced the additional resource for set up.
