SC101
Storage Central**
Sharable, Expandable, Fail-Safe storage accessible by all
PCs on your network
With Storage Central you can add the capacity you need to store, share and back up your
valuable digital content—-music, games, photos, videos, and office documents—instantly,
easily, and securely, all with the simplicity of your C:drive. IDE drives sold separately.
Storage Central is easy to setup and install. Just slide in one or two 3.5” IDE disk drives of any
capacity; connect Storage Central to any wired or wireless router or switch from any vendor, then
configure with Smart Wizard install assistant. Now you’re ready to access files from any PC on your
network, as a simple letter drive.
Storage Central automatically stores and mirrors your important digital content such as music,
games, photos, and more. Storage Central ensures that no one can access your files but you and
delivers the utmost privacy of your valuable data content. With Storage Central, you can expand
outgrown storage volumes, and add more capacity whenever you need it—instantly and easily. Storage
Central makes real-time copies of your valuable data, ensuring maximum protection against data loss.
Additionally, storage can be expanded indefinitely, keeping pace with all your future storage needs.
SmartSync™ Pro advanced backup software is included.
Storage Central features Z-SAN (Storage Area Network) technology, an advanced network storage
technology. Z-SANs provide IP-based, block-level data transfers that enable multiple users to make
efficient use of drives within the network through the dynamic allocation of volumes across multiple
hard disks. Z-SAN also enables file and volume sharing between multiple users on the network to be
as seamless as accessing their local C:\ drive. Additionally, Z-SAN assures users that their files are
protected from hard disk failure, through automatic mirroring between two hard disks within the
same Storage Central unit, or within a network of multiple Storage Central devices.
