FREMONT,
Calif. – Feb 6, 2006 -
Plextor® Corp., a leading developer and manufacturer
of high-performance digital media equipment, today announced
the PX-EH family of Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices.
Available in two capacities—250 GB and 400GB—the
external hard disk drives (HDD) are designed to allow
multiple users to share data with fast performance assured
by a high-speed processor and UltraDMA 133 HDD technology.
The
Plextor PX-EH series of NAS devices are designed for
professionals and small businesses that require extra
data storage capacity and easy backup capability. In
addition to providing instantly accessible shared storage
across the network, the devices include a print server
that can share a USB-connected printer. Other built-in
functions include an automated backup scheduler, administrative
security, and the ability to configure the device as
a dedicated FTP server. Throughput for FTP transfers
is a fast 94.5 Mbps, compared to 60-85 Mbps for comparable
products.
The
Plextor PX-EH Network Attached Storage devices are compatible
with Microsoft® Windows® operating systems.
Users enjoy silent operation thanks to the heat-releasing
aluminum case and convection cooling design, which eliminates
the need for a noisy fan. Set up is easy for customers
with a DHCP server – just connect to the network
and power up the unit.
“As
a leader in the data storage market, Plextor’s
mission is to help users secure and make the most of
their valuable data,” said Pete Schwartz, Vice
President of Marketing and Business Development. “Plextor
has now expanded its product lineup to include professional
network hard disk drives. This product line extension
complements our award-winning family of optical disk
drives and gives our customers more choices for data
storage applications.”
