Use your (home) network to the max!
Do you have a computer network at home? If you have a
broadband/DSL and/or Wireless connection, the answer
most likely is yes! Why not take full advantage of your
computer network possibilities and install a network hard
drive directly to your network router/swtich? The main
advantage: your external hard drive becomes available
to any computer or notebook which is connected to your
network. One central storage solution, available for all.
The new Dual Drive Network Center takes the concept
of network hard drives even a step further. It has 2 hard
drives inside, allowing for even more storage space, or
for extra safety features whereby one drive makes an
exact copy of the other – always a safe backup!
The Dual Drive Network Center can be used as central
storage location for all your multimedia fi les. Put your
audio or video collection on the drive, and play back
your favourite music, movies or photos directly from the
drive on any connected computer or supported Audio/
Video playback device. The drive is UPnP and DLNA
certifi ed, allowing for easy and seamless audio and video
streaming. It can also be used as internet download
center, thanks to the built-in BitTorrent client. You can
download directly to the drive, without the need for your
computer being switched on.
The Dual Drive Network Center features an easy to
understand user interface and with a Network Assistant
software tool, setting up the drive is very easy, no
advanced knowlegde of computer networks required.
