NetGear comes back to the NAS market with the Stora, a home network storage that is designed for first-time users who don’t want to learn server administration. Using the remote access via www.MyStora.com, the device enables cross-platform file sharing, music listening, movie watching and photo sharing from any Internet-connected device. In addition to sharing files over the web, users can also share photos, videos and files between home computers and home media players. The Stora can centralize music collections and play music through iTunes. It can also automatically integrate content with remote photo frames and social networking sites such as Facebook. In addition, this entry-level NAS can also serve content to other networked devices such as Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)-enabled photo frames, XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 game consoles, and iPhone and Blackberry mobile phones. The 1TB NetGear Stora is currently available in the US market for only $229 with a 30-days trial of social networking integration and remote access. [NetGear]
