Plextor offers up StorX PX-NAS500L / PX-NAS1000L NAS drives

It's been a hot minute since we've seen any fresh new kit from Plextor, but the firm has just rolled out a new pair of NAS drives for those on the hunt for -- what else? -- networked storage. The StorX PX-NAS500L / PX-NAS1000L drives offer up 500GB and 1TB of capacity, respectively, and each unit includes a gigabit Ethernet port, one-touch USB back-up button and the ability to grow thanks to a pair of USB 2.0 sockets. Beyond that, you won't find much else special about the new duo, and your guess is as good as ours on pricing / availability.

"It's been a hot minute..."

And that thing looks like a hot mess.

yawn, I always love when Engadget posts random ass stuff and has no price yet.

Plextor are using a oem nas box, this nas is really easy to find at ebay.com for a few dollars...

looks a tad big for a 500gb drive... I could really do with 4 of these though :)

RAID? And which file sharing protocols?

I'm looking for a 2-bay RAID1 NAS with a web interface similar to MS' Sharepoint. Ideas welcome.

It'd be nice if these thing were coming multimedia ready. I don't know if anyone really wants a NAS in the house without all the cool UPNP/DLNA stuff.

You can just buy an enclosure and some drives and it would be more fun.
