New Version of LanServer Network HDD by SmallDrives.com

SmallDrives.com announced the availability of the LanServer Drive for home and business use. This external hard drive is available in several capacities, and offers technological advancements over previous versions. It’s a storage solution for personal or business needs.

As the ability to easily store and access data from numerous devices grows, the role of external hard drives has increased in both the home and the workplace. The LanServer Drive is an external drive, capable of integrating with a wide range of different devices. For instance, users can save files from a desktop or laptop, and then access those files from other computers connected to their network, or even from their connected media devices, such as web-enabled televisions or Blu-ray players.

The LanServer Network Drive offers advanced functionality. Unlike other external drives, it can be connected to a PC via USB or directly to a network router via Ethernet. Connecting to a router allows sharing across your Internet connection, ensuring that all devices using that connection have access to the files stored on the drive. Powerful access controls are at hand to secure the unit and create private areas on the server.

In addition, users will find that the LanServer Drive is able to be used as a BitTorrent client, without the need for a computer. Another innovative feature is the ability to serve as a print server, allowing you to share a printer with other network users. This eliminates the need for a direct physical connection to the printer.

SmallDrives.com makes the LAN Network Server available in many different capacities to suit different needs, up to 2 TB. The drive is also available without a hard disk for £34.08. The enclosure can then be customized with an existing drive or configured to meet your needs in other ways.
