September 29, 2008: LaCie’s new Network Space networked attached storage (NAS) and media server was designed by Neil Poulton specifically for easy home and small office use.
Available in capacities of 500GB (RRP $229) to 1000GB (RRP $359), it is usable straight out of the box. Just plug the device into the router through the rear Ethernet port and instantly the device is available to share files through the local area network. The LaCie Network Space comes pre-built with two separate shares. One share is public for easy open access from any networked computer, while the other is password-protected for secured private use. LaCie Network Agent software is included for fast access to the shares.
LaCie Network Space has the ability to stream multimedia files through DLNA-compatible UPnP media players, such as Xbox 360 and or Sony Playstation 3, or act as an iTunes music server. This allows users to watch videos on their television elsewhere in their house rather than needing to be in front of the computer. The device is also FTP accessible, enabling remote access to upload or download files from abroad through a static IP address.
The Network Space is a full-featured home server utilizing Gigabit Ethernet for localised data transfers from any networked PC or Mac. With an additional USB 2.0 port located on the front of the unit, users can connect any USB drive or camera to copy additional files or photos automatically without needing the local computer turned on.
