Dangerously seeking products for the market Plextor released a two-drive NAS known as the PX-NAS2.

The amount of storage available to a small network need only be large enough for storing multimedia files (used for streaming) and for backup purposes. As such, Plextor decided to build its new NAS device with only two bays that can each handle a 3.5-inch hard disk drive of up to 2TB.

The PX-NAS2 itself measures 135.4 (W) x 120.3 (H) x 254.5 (D) mm and is equipped with all the necessary connectivity and I/O options, including a pair of USB ports and Gigabit Ethernet. As such, the product will be able to act as an iTunes, HTTP / FTP server. Not only that, but Plextor’s unit is even compatible with DLNA 1.5, which allows it to interface with CE products.

“Plextor is pleased to expand our storage category to meet today’s growing storage demand by providing another complete storage solution to our consumers,” says Takashi Adachi, General Manager of Plextor. “The PX-NAS2 is a complete and versatile NAS device that fulfills the growing demand for storage capacity, security and accessibility of personal data anywhere, anytime within a home.”

With the multimedia streaming capabilities covered, the storage maker catered to the need for reliable and easy backup by bundling the NAS with the Memeo software, which also handles file syncing and content sharing. Set to start selling in May, the HDD-less Plextor PX-NAS2 will be priced at only €179, whereas the 1TB (2 x 500GB HDD) and 2TB (2 x 1TB HDD) versions will cost €285 and €389, respectively.

Wireless networking with 802.11n is fast enough for many of us who only want a wireless router to connect a laptop to the web without cords. If you use your wireless network for moving lots of large files from computer to computer or streaming HD video you have probably wished for higher speeds. TRENDnet has unveiled a new 802.11n router called the TEW-691GR that promises to hit speeds of 450Mbps.

The router operates on the 2.4GHz spectrum and uses three spatial streams per antenna to hit the 450Mbps max. Normal 802.11n routers have a maximum speed of 300Mbps. Wireless coverage is boosted with MIMO tech and the router has a Gigabit WAN port and four Gigabit Ethernet ports for local computers.

Security is a big feature with the router as well with encryption and a firewall to protect the network. Traffic needing bandwidth is prioritized by the router with QoS technology. Wi-Fi Protected Setup makes it easy to setup a connection with supported wireless adapters with the press of a button on the adapter and the router. The TEW-691GR will ship in May for $159.99.

Netgear makes all sorts of routers for wireless networks and has been offering products for a long time based on draft-n technology.

Now that the IEEE has finally ratified the 802.11n specifications we are seeing new products come to market without that draft n caveat. Netgear announced today the new Rangemax Wireless-N Gigabit Router with USB WNR3500L.

The router provides full 802.11n speeds and has four gigabit Ethernet ports to provide fast wired connection. The router also uses push ‘n’ connect secure wireless setup and more features to provide a robust and stable wireless network.

Netgear uses the Broadcom 480MHz MIPS 74K CPU with 8MB of flash and 64MB of RAM to allow the router to run open source applications with Linux as the OS. The integrated USB port allows the sharing of storage or other USB devices across the wireless and wired networks.
