ZyXEL has announced single and dual-drive BYOD networked storage devices to kick off its NAS product line.

(Las Vegas, NV) Buffalo Technology refreshed its networked storage lineup with three new products introduced at CES today.

Netgear has announced a new version of its "Storage Centrol" NAS, adding gigabit Ethernet capability.

The Storage Central Turbo (SC101T) also now supports two 3.5-inch SATA disk drives of "any capacity".

Like its predecessor, the SC101T is based on Zetera's Z-SAN Storage Area Network technology, which works only with Windows 2000 and XP systems.

The SC101T is "expected to be available" in "early 2007". Pricing was not announced.

Ads in the current version of PC World provide a peek at some of the products that Linksys may announce during CES. The Cisco division won't be present in any of the show's venues, but will hold private meetings in an offsite hotel suite.

LaCie has updated its single-drive NAS with a speedy new CPU, gigabit Ethernet and SATA drive. Tim Higgins found much improved network performance, but for USB attached, not so much.

Craig Ellison finds that Trendnet's TS-I300 is a decent, but a tad expensive entry-level NAS.

Jim Buzbee brings us up to date on the state on what's happening with one of Linksys' most popular hacking platforms.

Infrant Technologies today announced a Network Attached Storage (NAS) product for the SMB market. The ReadyNAS 1100 is packaged in a compact 12" deep 1U chassis, enabling back-to-back mounting in a four-post data rack. Typical power consumption is 75 watts with four hard drives.

Other hardware features include dual gigabit Ethernet ports, full-hardware RAID (0, 1, 5, X-RAID), support for up to four hot-swappable SATA hard drives and sequenced hard drive power on to protect against "start-up surging."

Thecus suggested we retest its N2100 dual-drive NAS with new firmware that Thecus said provides a nice performance boost. We did and found that, indeed, it does.

Iomega today announced the next generation of its Iomega StorCenter network-attached storage (NAS) devices. All models feature the Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 operating system, optimized for file and print services across the network and SATA-II hot-swappable hard drives.

Networked Storage Vendor Anthology Solutions, maker of the Yellow Machine Storage Appliance appears to have ceased operations in September. Visitors to Anthology's website are redirected to a support forum (http://yellowmachinecommunity.org/smf/).

HP's entry into the consumer NAS market might take the prize for size. But Jim Buzbee found it has award-worthy performance and features, too.

Given all the stuff you've got squirreled away on your NAS, maybe you should be thinking of stepping up to RAID for a bit of storage insurance. Craig Ellison looked at D-Link's DNS-323 and liked what he saw.

Thecus has produced a business-focused NAS with advanced RAID features and high performance. But Tim Higgins found more of a diamond in the rough than a polished gem.

Thecus' much-anticipated five-bay N5200 and HP's first consumer NAS join the charts. We also provide a peek at RAID performance for both products.

Jim Buzbee found Western Digital's NetCenter NAS to be a good value if you don't mind slow performance and a limited feature set.

Bill Meade liked Synology's Cube Station so much that he just might swear off building his own RAID NASes.

Jim Buzbee found that Maxtor's second-generation Shared Storage NAS has what it takes to compete with the new generation of higher-performance networked storage.

Tim Higgins finds that Buffalo's lastest incarnation of its popular LinkStation NAS sets new performance highs.
