devices (like hard drives).
Gigabit Ethernet Port The 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiating Ethernet port
allows the NSA to detect the speed of incoming
transmissions and adjust appropriately without manual
intervention. It allows data transfer of either 100 Mbps or
1000 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode
depending on your Ethernet network. Use an 8-wire
Ethernet cable for Gigabit connections. The port is also auto-
crossover (MDI/MDI-X) meaning it automatically adjusts to
either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.
Actual data throughput varies depending on the network
conditions and environmental factors, including volume of
network traffic, network overhead and building materials.
SATA Interface The NSA supports two SATA II interfaces (backwards
compatible to SATA). Serial ATA is a low cost interface
technology that allows high speed data transfer. Serial ATA
also allows more efficient internal airflow and smaller
chassis design.
