# Storage

This section covers RouterOS storage features: disk-level options (encryption, RAID, filesystems such as Btrfs), network storage protocols (iSCSI, NFS, SMB, NVMe over TCP), media sharing (DLNA), and file synchronization (rsync).

While regular drives are supported, for reliability purposes we recommend using drives that have Power Loss Protection (PLP).

The **Storage package** (shown as `rose-storage` under `/system/package/print`) adds data-center functionality to RouterOS - disk monitoring with S.M.A.R.T., the Btrfs and XFS file systems, RAID, rsync, iSCSI, NVMe over TCP, NFS, and an SMB client. It is currently supported on **arm, arm64, x86** and **tile** platforms.

The built-in SMB **server** and DLNA media server are part of the base system and do not require the Storage package - see the [SMB](./smb) and [DLNA Media Server](./dlna) pages.
