Editorial Disclosure
This page states how NAS Hardware Guide makes money, how its articles are produced, and what does and does not affect what it publishes. It is deliberately short, because everything on it has to be true.
How this site is funded
Some articles here carry Amazon affiliate links. If you buy through one, this site may earn a commission and you pay nothing extra. Every article that contains one carries a disclosure notice on the page itself, above the point where the link appears.
There is no sponsored content, no paid placement, no display advertising and no newsletter sponsorship, and nothing on this site has been paid for by a manufacturer.
Affiliate links are only used where a specific product with a single, unambiguous configuration is genuinely the right recommendation. Where a product is sold in many capacities or variants, such as NAS hard drives, this site links the manufacturer's own product page instead, so you choose the variant rather than being sent to an arbitrary one. Products with no affiliate link available are still recommended when they are the right answer.
How articles are produced
Articles are researched from primary sources: vendor and project documentation, published standards and specifications, release notes, advisories, and measurements published by the people who took them. Drafts are produced with AI assistance and then edited against those sources before publication.
Articles are published under the NAS Hardware Guide Editorial byline. That is an editorial desk, not a named individual, and this site does not attribute its work to invented people with invented credentials. No article here claims hands-on lab testing, benchmarking, or first-hand measurement, and none should be read as a report of something this site physically tested. Where a number comes from a datasheet or someone else's measurement, the article says whose.

Review samples and vendor relationships
This site does not accept review units, hardware loans, free licences, or gifts, and no article here is written from a vendor-supplied sample. It is not owned by, funded by, or operated by any of the vendors, projects, or platforms it covers.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, email [email protected] with the page and the specific claim. Substantive corrections are made on the affected page rather than quietly removed. This site does not publish a separate correction log, and this page will not pretend otherwise.
