Choosing the Best Virtual Machine NAS Drive of 2020 https://nascompares.com/best-vm-nas-to-buy-2020/

For those that are not aware, a Virtual Machine (or VM) is a near completely digital alternative to a physical-local-PC in the traditional sense. Yes, you still need a physical user interface (ie a monitor/screen and peripheral controls like a Keyboard, mouse and/or touch screen) and hardware terminal (even something as simple as a phone) but after that, what you have access to is a purely virtual copy of a typical PC that allows you to access a single desktop from ANYWHERE in the world that has an internet connection. Add to that the advantages of easy system duplication, snapshots to near-instantly reverse software choices and effectively limitless options of operating system support and what you have is an exceptionally useful tool indeed - one that now both home and business users are taking advantage of. These days, even modest powered NAS drive systems can support virtual machines in one shape or form, but it was not until we started seeing brands create their own VM management tools, cross-platform backups of VM environments and support of popular enterprise VM architecture like Hyper-V and VMware that it has really, REALLY grown popular. The amount of hardware power inside your NAS system will heavily dictate the power and extent of your VM deployment and therefore you have to choose wisely when selecting a NAS system for virtual machine use. Today I want to tell you the best three NAS servers for Virtual machines to buy in 2020/2021 and I have chosen them by selecting the Best Value VM NAS, the Most Robust (sturdy and fully featured) VM NAS and the Most Powerful VM NAS. Let's take a look.

Best Virtual Machine NAS - What Qualifies?

As I have already touched on, there are ALOT of NAS systems out there and ALOT of them support virtual machine deployment, so choosing the right one can be tricky! Luckily I have already highlighted the most important things to consider when considering a NAS for VMs and in order for a NAS to qualify today, it needs to confirm it is/has the following:

The NAS server needs to have been released before October 31st 2020, so it has been officially available to buy and review
Although it is a Best of the Year list, the NAS considered for it CAN be released in 2019, 2018, etc - but they MUST have been available for sale for all/most of 2020
Only Desktop/Tower systems are being considered, Rackmount servers are generally harder to compare and are more tailored to industry
Each solution must be a combined Hardware+Software solution - Include a Virtual Machine Management utility
Must have at least 2 years manufacturers warranty
Must Be able to Run at least 2 VMs (Windows/Linux) whilst still running the NAS software utilities
Must be at least a 4-Bay NAS, as you need to provision for storage AND redundancy in the event of a failed drive
Virtual Machine Images must be importable, exportable, have backup/snapshot options
VMware, Hyper-V, Images, ISOs, VMKs  and VDKs must be supported

The above list narrows down which NAS are suitable for VMs and I have narrowed down to the top 3 NAS systems below. Take a look.
