Plextor announced a new range
The Plextor StorX supports a 2-drive solution that can be configured for performance (RAID 0) or redundant storage (RAID 1). The drives are hot-swappable/hot-pluggable. The device is easily configured via a Web-based interface and includes NAS backup software Backup4all.

An extra hard drive can be added to the Plextor StorX unit via USB. It is equipped with two USB ports, one at the rear for NAS backup to USB storage, USB printer support or online sharing of a USB storage device and one on the front so users can backup files from attached USB storage devices via the one touch 'Backup' button.

The Plextor StorX DUO-HDD NAS range is available in 3 capacities :

- PX-NAS2X500L (2 x HDDs of 500GB each = 1TB)
