No matter how much we try to conserve the storage space, we always run out of it in just a matter of days, don't we? What makes it even worse is our laziness or the lack of resources to burn our files on discs. But I'm not here to give a discourse on how to use your comp. No way.

What I can do is give you a solution to your problem. The product we review today will help network users trounce the storage space problem and live happily at least for time if not forever.

We have the Maxtor Shared Storage II; an external storage option that provides 1 TB (yes, that's ONE Terabyte of storage space.)

Check out the picture below.



Maxtor Shared Storage II

If you have a small network of PCs (at home or office), it makes sense to dump most of the data on a single shared drive and use it anytime. The Maxtor Shared Storage allows you to do just that.



It measures a wholesome 5.4 x 3.9 x 8.5 inches (136 x 65 x 217 mm) and weighs about 2.72 kg. It comprises of two SATA II (STM310004SDABOG-RK/N01R010) 7200 RPM hard drives that form a 16 MB Cache Buffer. It provides one 10/100/1000 RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port and two (2) USB 2.0 ports for expansion (including USB printers and external hard drives.)

I think its too pricey! Unless u are a BIG corporation which absolutely needs 1 TB storage, I don't see the use of this device.

Where do you buy this in India? Are there any online e-tailers? Are there any stores that sell this in major cities?
