ISO Shared Folder Requirements
By default, most NAS models can support up to 256 ISO shared folders. However, some NAS models support
fewer than 256 ISO image files, depending on the number of Network Recycle Bin folders: Number of
supported ISO image files = 256 − 6 (default shared folders) − (number of Network Recycle Bin folders).
The following NAS models support fewer than 256 ISO image files.
