NAS devices are network-connected, allowing multiple devices to access and back up data. External hard drives are typically connected to a single device (e.g., via USB) and not network-accessible for multiple devices. The correct option reflects this key difference.

D. Unlike external hard drives, NAS devices make backups much easier for multiple computing devices.
