Ximeta 80GB NetDisk
Introduction
In order for homes or small businesses to share data across multiple computers, you would traditionally have to set up a peer-to-peer network which would require you to leave a computer on all the time for others to access it, or setup a file server which requires considerable time and money to purchase and setup. But maybe you don't need storage that is always accessible to multiple computers, maybe you would like to occasionally share data between computers without having to use a network or constantly burn CDs. While the latter has an easy solution requiring nothing more than an external hard drive or other USB accessible media, the former wasn't as simple. Along comes Ximeta's NetDisk, which is not only a USB 2.0 accessible hard drive, it is also accessible to a computer or an entire network via a 100Mbps Ethernet port. Rather than having an entire computer for sharing files, the NetDisk is just a hard drive recognized as a Network Direct Attached Storage (NDAS) drive. This means all you have to do is plug the NetDisk into the network and you have low cost, space saving storage for your entire network. Ximeta sent us the NDU10-80 model, which is a NetDisk with a 7200RPM 80GB hard drive with currently retails for around $200 USD. Ximeta also has a 120GB retailing for around $230 USD and 160 GB NetDisks for around $300 USD. While the NetDisk is originally intended for the small business market, the competitive pricing makes it worthy of home network use as well.
