14 DAY TRIAL // LG Electronics, one of the world’s leading vendors of consumer electronics, has just announced the debut of its new Network Attached Storage solution, at this year’s Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) Expo. The company’s new N2R1 NAS model has been designed for users looking for a solution that can help them protect their multimedia files, including photos, music and videos in a NAS device that comes with a dual-drive configuration. In addition, unlike most NAS solutions available on the market today, the new LG product is also featured with an integrated DVD Re-Writer and Playback optical drive, providing a more convenient solution for customers.
“Consumers continue to create digital memories, from photos to family videos and it's important that these irreplaceable moments are saved in a secure place,” Peter Reiner, senior vice president, marketing, LG Electronics USA, Inc., said. “With LG's Network Attached Storage, consumers now have a virtual 'Library on Command' that allows them unlimited access to their favorite memories, whether at home or on the road.”
The N2R1 from LG can be configured with up to 2TB of storage space, boasting a RAID configuration that will replicate data to prevent possible loss or damage. The solution, according to LG, also backs up and restores files for an additional security.
More features include the Ethernet and integrated WiFi 802.11g wireless connectivity, while consumers can access their videos, photos and music through a DLNA-certified media player. As expected, the storage solution is compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems and comes with all the usual connectivity options.
LG’s new N2R1 NAS is slated to become available early this fall, with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price tag of US$299, which will provide customers with the 1TB model. Stepping up to 2TB of storage will cost them US$100 more, at an MSRP of US$399.
