Envy News: Quality Gadgets for Hardware Zealots
Ximeta NetDisk 80GB - Review
Quote: "We’ve all had the urge to have some portability in our data. Be it a business reason or you just want to carry a bit of “you” wherever you go. Having our data go mobile is a need for some, and a want for others, but it all comes down to taking your life, as it pertains to the computer, with you.

Ximeta has a different philosophy when it comes to portable storage. With the release of their NetDisk a few weeks ago, they put a spin on the interfaces. Not only are they using a high-speed 420Mbps USB 2.0 port, but are using a 100Mbps Ethernet port as well. This is definite first in the world of portable storage and Ximeta is not about to let you forget that point as their Network Direct Attached Storage (NDAS) technology is plastered over their whole website. I honestly can’t blame them either, because after my first impression of the NetDisk, I’d be shouting it from the rooftops as well!"
