Addonics has come up with a small yet useful device for people that use a lot of different USB flash drives. It is entitled Addonics NAS and can be seen as an adapter that easily makes USB flash drive become part of a LAN network. For the features it can provide, its price tag is rather cheap - only $55.

The Addonics NAS supports a few network protocols like Samba and SMB, and is compatible with a couple of operative systems, including Windows, Macs, and Linux 2.6x. Unusual features of this adapter: providing FTP access, working as a bit-torrent file downloading appliance, and being easy to configure as a print server.

I don’t know how much time you spend downloading stuff but if you’re a hardcore downloader you should be interested in Princeton Japan’s 5TB NAS. Loof for the DN-503AH-PDC. It supports RAID 0/1/5/6, 10/1000 Ethernet and hot-swappable HDDs. As you can see, the standard NAS features are present. Will you be able to download the Internet? Not likely but those 5TB should get you a nice chunk of it. Keep an eye out for this NAS this December. It will arrive in Japan and hopefully other markets will follow.
