Wifi Enabled HDD Enclosure: Any Takers?
Posted by Nurhisham Hussein in "HARDWARE" @ 01:00 AM

A Singapore company is developing a new wifi HDD enclosure. So what's new, you may ask? It's designed to be portable, with a rechargeable battery that would give it up to 2-4hrs of continuous access time - which is really good if they can actually do it. I can't quite make out if this can function as a wireless AP, but the company claims up to 8 people can wirelessly access the HDD at the same time. The device is compatible with any device on the 802.11b/g standards, and will take any IDE/ATA HDD in 1.8" or 2.5" form factors. The projected retail launch date will be in early April, but now news yet on price or availability. So, any takers?
