I reviewed XIMETA's original NDAS product - the NetDisk - last fall when it was relatively early in its development. Since then, the company has introduced Mini and Office versions of the product, improved their Windows client app and added support for MacOS X and RedHat Linux 8 and 9.

I decided to take a second look at the product, this time choosing the Office version, which I hoped would have some interesting features to go along with its built-in 8 port 10/100 switch.
