Saying "a device" might invite the misinterpretation that it can be
used on *any* device - maybe you can use the NAS to distribute
firmware updates across a pool of workstations?
Saying "the device" implies that it's obvious what device we're
talking about; and the only candidate in view is the LaCie NAS product
that we were talking about accessing.
Saying "your device" might make it slightly easier for a reader to
follow the reference, but we often prefer to avoid talking about
"your" system if we conveniently can, on the principle that the
software also works on equipment that you don't strictly own.
