LaCie 500GB Ethernet Disk mini

I am a fan of space. I have more hard drives and external storage systems than I am likely to ever use - but whoever said I shouldn’t get more?

The other day, I purchased yet another network based storage system, none other than the LaCie 500GB Ethernet Disk mini w/ USB 2.0, via thenerds.net. I have never been happier with any network storage drive than this one!

With support for 10/100/1000 MB/s (up to a Gigabit), it works excellent on any network and interfaces with all kinds of protocols - FTP, SMB (for Windows & Linux), AFP (Mac) - even it’s own built-in HTTP interface for anyone else who needs to access it.
LaCie also provides special backup software for certain OSes - you can schedule backups on your computer and they’ll automatically be transferred to the drive!

For those who can’t (or don’t want to) plug this baby directly into their network, there is always the USB 2.0 option - in which it will act the same as it does as if it were on the network directly.

Definitely a must buy for anyone who is in need of more storage space, or a place to stream and share your music with your friends and family.
