The Best PC Names NetDisk in Top 100 Products of 2005; NetDisk Also Earns Editor’s Choice Awards in IT Week and Web Week

Fremont, Calif. (PRWEB) July 24, 2006 -- Ximeta, the pioneer of Network Direct Attached Storage (NDAS®) technology, today announced that the premier issue of The Best PC ranked its NetDisk™ NDU 10-80 80GB shared storage drive in the “Top 100 Products of 2005” and also gave it an “Editor’s Choice” award. IT Week and Web Week awarded the NetDisk NDU 10-250 250GB drive with 5-star reviews and Editor’s Choice awards.

The NetDisk series is a high-performance, scalable Ethernet/USB 2.0 combo hard drive embedded with NDAS technology for consumers, workgroups, and SMBs. Ximeta also recently announced the availability of its new NetDisk 400 with an MSRP of $369.99.

Published by Possibility Media, The Best PC is the only all digital monthly magazine for PC enthusiasts. Web Week is the nation's only all digital, largest circulation, weekly magazine for business and technology on the Web. IT Week, IT NEWS for Connected Network, is the alternative, all digital choice for business technology decision makers.

Compatible with both Windows and Mac systems, NetDisk provides up to 400GB of instant, blazing-fast, shared network or extended PC storage for capacity hungry applications including digital photography, graphic arts, gaming, machinema, media players, MP3 collections, video libraries, and IP surveillance. Users simply plug it into their router/switch through its integrated Ethernet port for immediate network shared storage or to a USB port for direct access from their PC/notebook.

Ximeta’s NDAS technology allows multiple devices to access storage through the network without any server intervention. Unlike other architectures such as NAS, SAN, and USB mass storage, no server interferes between the storage device and the client host. All users can directly manage, access, and share folders simultaneously, which eliminates typical performance degradation and bottlenecks. NDAS offers the performance and efficiency comparable to a network file server, at a lower cost.

“To be recognized as one of the top tech products by these top publications is an honor and testament to our mission of designing and delivering high performance, easy to use shared storage solutions for businesses and consumers,” said Marie Wesson, product marketing manager of Ximeta. “The implementation of shared storage is becoming more and more critical with the sharp increase of digital files used in professional and personal applications. Ximeta’s NetDisk makes it easy to back up and store information and provides the performance to share, stream, and capture data and multimedia whether it’s connected to a single PC or a high traffic network.”
