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.
