Affordable PX-NAS4 Network Storage Unit Introduced by Plextor

Adjust text size:

The fact that most people tend to keep their valuable information stored on their home or enterprise networks in digital form is becoming more and more clear, and this couldn't make NAS (network attached storage) solutions' manufacturers any happier, since it will certainly lead to a serious boost in the level of popularity provided by these devices.

And that's exactly the reason why Plextor has just come up with a new NAS unit, the PX-NAS4, a solution capable of providing an impressive storage space, high data reliability and security, and low power consumption.

With dual LAN ports, the PX-NAS4 provides substantial bandwidth up to 2Gbps data access, while in the same time having the necessary capacity to store up to 8TB of data across four hot-swap drive bays.

Also, the PX-NAS4 has a storage expansion option available via built-in eSATA and USB ports which allow for the connection of additional external hard drives to meet continuous storage demand.

The PX-NAS4 offers the convenience of iSCSI, making its storage available as consolidated network storage over existing low cost network, while the data stored in the PX-NAS4 is always protected with an advanced volume encryption using an AES 256-bit algorithm (PX-NAS4 is also password-protected allowing only authorized users’ access).

Moreover, the PX-NAS4 offers multiple disk configurations: JBOD, RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 or RAID10, with a hot spare bay provided for immediate drive replacement if a drive fails (RAID 1 & 5 only).

The PX-NAS4 also features Snapshot Backup Utility, a method of backup that takes a picture of the current state of the NAS, to protect and safeguard precious data.

“With today’s increasing amount of digital data, businesses need to save such data in a secure and accessible area,” said Clifford Sun, Senior Product Marketing Manager of Plextor.

“Plextor is excited to offer our next phase of network-attached storage providing a reliable, secure and convenient storage solution for small and medium businesses,” added Mr. Sun.

The PX-NAS4 will be available end of November with an MSRP of $399.99, which makes it a fairly affordable product, compared to some of the other solutions available out there.
