Ximeta NetDisk 400 Earns Number One Ranking and "Best Buy" Award in July Issue of PC World

Posted on: Thursday, 29 June 2006, 12:00 CDT

Ximeta, the pioneer of Network Direct Attached Storage (NDAS(R)) technology, received the prestigious "Best Buy" award and number one Networked-Attached Storage Device ranking in the July issue of PC World.

The NetDisk 400 is the industry's first high-performance, scalable 400GB Ethernet/USB 2.0 combo hard drive embedded with NDAS technology for consumers, workgroups, and SMBs. The NetDisk 400 is available today for $369.99 MSRP.

According to the review written by Melissa Perenson, "The slender Ximeta NetDisk debuts at number one after turning in a stellar performance in our benchmarks."

The article continues, "Ximeta uses a proprietary Network Direct Attached Storage (NDAS) chip and its own networking protocol to enable direct communication between the device and the computers. Special software... allows the device to appear as a local drive for each networked machine, instead of as a network drive shared among them. The end result: Faster performance when you're transferring files to and from the device."

Compatible with both Windows and Mac systems, NetDisk provides 400GB of instant, blazing-fast, shared network or extended PC storage for capacity hungry applications including digital photography, graphic arts, gaming, machinema, media players, MP3 collections, video libraries, and IP surveillance.

Users simply plug it into their router/switch through its integrated Ethernet port for immediate network shared storage or to a USB port for direct access from their PC/notebook. All users can directly manage, access, and share folders simultaneously without server intervention, which eliminates typical performance degradation and bottlenecks. NDAS offers the performance and efficiency comparable to a network file server, at a lower cost.

"PC World is an authority in technology for consumers and businesses and is highly regarded among our target customers," said Marie Wesson, product marketing manager of Ximeta. "Our industry-leading NDAS is proving to be a superior method of storing, accessing and sharing information. By combining the best of NAS and DAS, Ximeta has created a complete solution that combines high-performance and an affordable price."
