Bring any IDE hard drive onto your network in the form of a NAS (Network Attached Storage) and share your data/music/videos on your network with the NexStarLX from Vantec.
While simple hard drive enclosures are nice and convenient, it can get annoying to have to switch between desktops and notebooks. You could always share it as a network drive, of course that means that your PC has to be running all the time. The NexStarLX is a simple one step solution that acts as a dedicated network drive so you can connect via FTP or SMB!
Vantec doesn't believe in discrimination, that's why they provided access over USB, FTP, and SMB. Connect to your information with Linux, Windows, or OSX. By sharing via FTP, any computer with an FTP client (or web browser) will be able to connect without configuring any drivers or recompiling any kernels.
The NexStarLX isn't just an NAS, it can also double as a USB hard drive enclosure. Take your data on the go. Bring large files or projects to friends or coworkers without the use of other devices. Simply unplug your NexStarLX and go!
When you arrive at your destination, you can either plug directly into the target computer or just plug into the network and transfer files at LAN speed. With a sleek, clean design you're sure to impress everyone, even your Mac friends!
Setup on the NexStarLX is as smooth as its looks. Use the secure web-based setup utility to configure your enclosure to handle your specific needs. To install your hard drive, just open up the enclosure and plug your HDD in and you're done.
It's your data and it should be accessible the way you want it. With Vantec's NexStarLX you can store and share your files without any trouble or headaches.
