Re: Another route to small scale NAS?

Thanks Phil
Perhaps I read the spec wrong.
I was looking at the manufacturers presentation at:-
http://www.ioi.com.tw/pdf/lan/ldu2-ata01_pre.pdf

Page four lists a printer as one application.
I guess though that the USB is just an alternative connection to the=20=20
LAN, rather than supporting any additional devices.

As I say, the Terastation is working out great.
The lowest price I found though was =A3570 for the 1TB
