New network storage solutions from Seagate

Seagate Technology has announced the availability of two new network storage
products aimed at small office and home network users, the Seagate Mirra Sync
and Share Personal Server and the Maxtor Shared Storage II solution.

Seagate Mirra Sync and Share Personal Server combines effortless digital
content protec­-tion with secure remote access and sync and share. Connected to
a router, the new server continuously and automatically protects important
content on all networked Mac or PC computers, while providing 24x7, over-the-web
access to your business or personal content. Small office and home office users
can simply and securely share photos, files and documents with other networked
computers or with anyone who has an e-mail address. Ideal for small business
users, stored and shared files can be automatically synchronized among networked
computers, ensuring others are up to date with the latest changes to key
documents.

The Maxtor Shared Storage II solution provides up to one terabyte of capacity
to share and store and can automatically backup computer files, photos, music
and digital videos to one location on a home or small business network. Its
user-friendly interface provides easy set up and backup scheduling of networked
computers, data restoration and media playback to networked media/entertainment
systems without being tied down to a dedicated computer host.

The Maxtor Shared Storage II solution comes in a dual-drive configuration
with storage capacities of one terabyte (1,000GB). It can be set up for RAID 1
(disk mirroring), which makes an exact copy of the files on one drive to the
other, so if one drive fails for any reason there's a duplicate version on the
other drive as a backup.

Mirra Sync and Share Personal Server will be available in 320GB and 500GB
capacities for a recommended retail price of Rs 23,500. The Maxtor Shared
Storage II solution will be available in a 1TB capacity model and will have an
RRP of Rs 37,500. Both network storage products will carry a one-year limited
warranty and will be available in November.
