see the above link for more infoNetDisk? with NDAS Technology is the only external Hard Disk Drive (HDD) that can be connected directly to either your computer or your Local Area Network (LAN) using an Ethernet cable OR directly to your computer using a USB cable! Now you can easily share additional storage with everyone on your network. NetDisk? utilizes XIMETA's own NDAS Technology, making it easy to add instant, high-speed storage to your PC while giving you the option to share. Designed with ease of use and expandabilty in mind, this external storage solution combines high performance, reliability, security, and versatility.
Its value can also be found in the non-PC environment. For example, Digital TV broadcasting has already been launched. Home networking is being improved and popularized, and the game industry (currently represented by the PS2? and X-box?) is growing. In this age of home networking, NetDisk makes it possible to save digital TV recordings, digital audio recordings, and digital camera movie files onto a single network storage system and share this data with different kinds of terminals, including TVs, audio components, PCs, etc.
