Take your IDE hard drive and convert it to NAS (Network Attached Storage) to share your data, music, and videos via
USB 2.0 or ethernet on your network with the sleek NexStarLX from Vantec.
The NexStarLX is a 3.5-inch IDE Hard Drive Enclosure that acts as a dedicated network drive you can connect to with FTP or SMB protocols. This means that you can use Linux, Windows, or OSX to access your information. FTP protocols allow any computer with a web browser or FTP client to connect without configuring any drivers or recompiling any kernels.
NAS with USB connection
In addition to NAS functionality, the NEXSTAR LX doubles as a USB external hard drive enclosure so that you can take huge amounts of data on the go. Simply transfer your info to and from any computer via the USB 2.0 port. When you arrive at your destination you can either connect directly to the target computer or plug into the network and transfer files at LAN speed.
Installation and setup on the NexStarLX couldn't be easier. Simply open up the enclosure and plug your HDD in to install, and use the secure web-based setup utility to configure your enclosure for your exact needs.
The only thing better than Vantec's NexStarLX sharp, clean design is how well it works. Let the NexStarLX help you share your world.
