Discount NetDisk 351UNE 3.5-Inch USB/eSATA/Ethernet Enclosure For USB or Network Storage

Over All Rating Reviews :

The Iocell NetDisk 351UNE is a poor product. The name makes everyone believe this device is a "Network Attached storage" device (commonly called a NAS device). This is NOT a NAS device. This device is a 'NDAS' device.

A NDAS device is a made-up word by Iocell/Ximeta to mean their version of a networked storage device. With the Netdisk 351UNE - Using NDAS- the storage device requires every computer to install the 'Netdisk' install utility.

Once done only ONE computer with THEIR software installed write to the drive. The rest can only READ from the drive. With newer versions of their software multiple people may have permissions (beta version). With the upgraded beta versions of the software- the 'host' computer (first computer to have write access while installed) must ALWAYS-BE-ON for other drives to access the data and write to the drive. The included software that ships with the drive only allows for ONE computer to write and is only compatible with Win98/2000/2003 Server for network access. Vista drivers included are only for e-sata/usb.

The Netdisk 351UNE does not support ftp/bit torrent servers/ ect as there is no IP address assigned to the networked drive ever. There is no configuration web page available and no drive statistics to view. To 'mount' and 'unmount' the drive you click on the drive icon available in the task-bar at all times.

Summary:
Do not buy this expecting a NAS device (A drive enclosure that you could simply turn on and have a drive available on the network to save files to retrieve files). The NetDisk 351UNE is not a NAS device. The NetDisk 351UNE is a network gimmick for a poor-mans networked hard-drive at a comparable price.

I am a bit of an external hard drive/networking beginner, so keep that in mind when considering this review.

You will receive the enclosure, a power pack, SATA, USB and ethernet cables - and screws for mounting a hard drive (including a tiny screwdriver).

There is a manual and a CD-ROM, but I went to the website to download the most recent drivers.

My goal was to run this over ethernet attached to my wireless router so all of the computers in my home could access files in a central location. I was able to accomplish that.

The drive uses a specialized software (NDAS) and you must install drivers on each machine that will access the drive. Once I did that, I had no problem mounting the drive on each computer.

The enclosure has tons of ventalation holes, so I doubt there will be any problem with heat. I also had no problem with each computer's ability to find the drive attached to my wireless router.

I have a 2TB drive installed inside Seagate Barracuda LP 2 TB 5900RPM SATA 3 GB/s 32 MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive ST32000542AS-Bare Drive (Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging) and there are no issues I can see with accessing all of the 2TB drive.

Overall, I am very happy with this drive, but it is not exactly plug-and-play and requires a bit of trial and error to get it working. (The included instructions are not very much help for anyone who is a beginner at this stuff.)

Drop in a hard drive. Install the drivers. Plug the drive into your network. That's all there is to it to have network storage. No IP addresses, netmasks, gateways to set. Want to connect using the USB/eSATA interfaces. Just unplug the Ethernet and plug in to a machine with USB/eSATA and your data is seamlessly available. Makes a perfect backup device for systems.
