IO Data Device is coming out with a LAN HD that's 300GB.
It can also connect to the AVeL LinkPlayer, the DivX/XviD DVD player from the same company.



IO Data Device Corporation will release the "LANDISK HDL-300U," a LAN hard drive with a 300GB capacity, in the back part of April. The price is 63,000 yen [1].

The LANDISK HDL-300U has a 100Base-TX/10Base-T interface, and connects easily to an Ethernet network. It can also act as a media server for the "AVeL LinkPlayer," a network media player with DVD±R/RW drive, also from IO Data Devices. Since it supports Wake o­n LAN, the LinkPlayer can wake up the hard drive. The maximum transfer speed is 94.5Mbps (with FTP transfer). o­n the back of the drive are two USB ports, so the device can be connected to a PC as a USB hard disk, or connected to a printer.

Also featured is that capability to backup PC data with automatic compression, and the "Simple Backup to LinkStation" utility to backup data to another HD-HGLAN series connected to the same network.

Supported operating systems are Windows 98, NT 4.0 (SP4+), Me, 2000 Professional, and XP, as well as Mac OS 8.1 - 9.2.2/10.1+.
