NetDisk Portable 160GB Hard Drive (Ximeta-NDU10160)

2.86 Poor
Average User Rating
Manufacturer's Info: Featuring Ethernet and USB 2.0/1.1 connectivity, the 160GB NetDisk freely switches roles as a network and local storage device. Completely scalable, the drive's speed does not change even if you add additional NetDisks and the number of NetDisks that can be added to a LAN is unlimited. Average read seek times run at 8.9ms with a 7200rpm spindle speed. Data is also protected via the drive's 2MB buffer and asynchronous mirroring. Mirroring continuously creates and saves a copy of data in real time onto a second NetDisk whenever data is written to the first NetDisk. Plus, two NetDisk units to be recognized as one large drive. The drive is hot-swappable and pre-formatted. NetDisk is truly a simple and convenient network storage solution without a need for servers, cumbersome management software, or IP configuration. It is ideal for home networks and offices and small to medium businesses. It has plenty of storage room for large amounts of data generated by MP3 players, digital cameras, and digital camcorders. You can also store and share your office data, music, photos, and videos and save your entire CD collection. Even create your own personal jukebox.
