Linksys EtherFast® Network Attached Storage (80GB)

Now you can quickly and easily add eighty gigabytes of storage space onto your network with the EtherFast® Instant GigaDrive™ from Linksys. This stand-alone Network Attached Storage device features two hard drive bays -- one with an 80GB drive in it, and the other available so you can add an additional up to 120GB IDE hard drive as your storage needs grow. You can even replace the original 80GB drive with another 120 for a total of 240GB!

Installation of the Instant Gigadrive is simple -- just plug it directly into your 10/100 network, and it's instantly available. It can serve as your network's DHCP server, and also has a built-in Print Server so you can add a network printer without burdening a PC with spooling chores.

The Instant Gigadrive features built-in disk utilities, accessible through your web browser. You can run a self test, and scan or defrag the disk(s). If you've installed a second disk drive, you can back up one drive to the other, either manually or on a schedule. Additional quick-connect hard drive trays are available, so you can quickly swap the backup drive to create rotating backups.

For even more flexibility and utility, the Instant Gigadrive can be set up to be accessible directly from the Internet -- up- or downloading files either via a web browser, or by FTP. Files can be available publicly, or create password-protected accounts for your authorized users. You can even use the Instant Gigadrive as an Internet print server, saving fax machine phone charges and using the internal hard drive space to spool and print high-resolution color pages from anywhere in the world.

The EtherFast Instant GigaDrive is a powerful, flexible and economical addition to your network.
