LaCie d2 Network
$190.00
Released May, 2009
The Pros:Small form factor for a network storage device. Stylish aesthetic and blue LED look better than many typical external drives. Durable casing and stand protects drive well from physical damage.
The Cons:Driver updates are likely required and can be difficult to find. Drive begins to spin inexplicably for short periods at random intervals. Tends to get hot under heavy load.
The LaCie d2 Network is a network storage device for workgroups, available in capacities of 500 MB, 1 TB, and 1.5 TB. Ethernet technology enables all computers on a network to back up data and share files.

Unlike LaCie's RAID network storage solutions, the Big Disk Network utilizes a single disk, so data is more vulnerable in the event of a drive failure. USB and eSATA ports allow for expanded storage and additional backup. For home use, movies and music stored on the device can be streamed to UPnP devices, including game consoles, and large downloads can continue while a computer is turned off thanks to an integrated torrent server. Other features include Active Directory Support and Wake-on-LAN, which enables remote power-on and power-off. The d2 Network is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux, and works with Time Machine on Mac OS X Leopard.
