Portable HDD
The growth of digital media such as video, audio
and pictures is driving the demand for portable storage devices. Plextor
has provided the ideal solution: high capacity, fast USB 2.0, highly
portable bus powered hard disks, that require no separate power supply.
They are available in two sizes, the PX-PH04U is 40GB and the PX-PH08U is
80GB and both come with a useful write protection switch.
Professional Network HDD
Plextor has
overcome the problem of small business networks requiring extra storage
and back-up: a convenient 250GB Network Attached Storage (NAS) device that
comes equipped with extra features. As well as providing instant shared
storage across the network, the PX-EH25L includes: a print server that can
share a printer over the network when connected to it via USB; and an
automated backup scheduler from the NAS to a USB connected external HDD of
the same capacity. Additionally, the Professional Network HDD is both
secure and flexible: it includes a high security feature so that the
administrator can limit access to certain folders; and it can be
configured as a dedicated FTP server. |
The company hopes that consumers and companies will
associate these products with the reliability and quality that the company is
aiming to offer in its optical storage products. Besides these products the
company has also announced a portable floppy drive. The hard disk solutions are,
according to the press release, in cooperation with I/O
