As the extensive use of digital
consumer electronics contin-
ues to accelerate exponential-
ly, consumers and profession-
als are increasingly looking
for data storage and sharing solutions.
It’s clear why internal hard drives are rou-
tinely filled and servers stagger as storage archi-
tects struggle to keep up with the ever-evolv-
ing needs of digital consumers. Capacity and
compatibility limitations often contribute to
intractable workflow restrictions, and common
network storage solutions are prohibitively ex-
pensive and infamously difficult to integrate
into existing networks.

lessly between Windows, Apple and Linux en-
vironments is a breeze for the Ethernet Disk

More Than Hard Drives
ink of the Ethernet Disk and Ethernet Disk
mini as “more than hard drives.” One of the
advantages of network storage is that you don’t
