Manufacturers Description/Specification
The new Linksys NAS appliance offers 250GB of IDE hard drive storage space
that stands upright for small spaces or lays flat on the desktop. Storage capacity
can increase to 500GB by adding an additional 250GB drive to the empty second
drive bay. Once a second drive is installed, users can back up the first drive
manually or on a schedule. Additional quick-connect hard drive trays (EFGHDT2)
are available, so users can quickly swap multiple backup drives to create rotating
backups.
The Linksys NAS device is gigabit ready with a 10/100/1000 port, which can connect
the NAS device to a gigabit backbone. It can also connect to a wireless network
in areas where there are no Ethernet connections by using the Linksys Wireless-G
Ethernet Bridge ( WET54G ). Plug the Bridge into the gigabit port and now the
hard drive content can be shared wirelessly.
