Product Description
NetDisk with NDAS Technology is the only external Hard Disk Drive (HDD) that can be connected directly to either your computer or your Local Area Network (LAN) using an Ethernet cable or directly to your computer using a USB cable! Now you can easily share additional storage with everyone on your network. NetDisk utilizes XIMETA's own NDAS Technology, making it easy to add instant, high-speed storage to your PC while giving you the option to share. Designed with ease of use and expandability in mind, this external storage solution combines high performance, reliability, security, and versatility.Its value can also be found in the non-PC environment. For example, Digital TV broadcasting has already been launched. Home networking is being improved and popularized, and the game industry (currently represented by the PS2 and X-box) is growing. In this age of home networking, NetDisk makes it possible to save digital TV recordings, digital audio recordings, and digital camera movie files onto a single network storage system and share this data with different kinds of terminals, including TVs, audio components, PCs, etc.

 Don't even think about buying these!! November 7, 2008
Peter Esposito (Crested Butte CO)
I've had a number of these over the years; they seemed to last a couple of years then have some problem. The price was reasonble so I'd replace the ones that had problem.
In September, I ordered a terabit raid bundle direct from Klegg (who bought the company from XIMETA). It arrived without hard drives -- empty enclosures. After 3 weeks of emails, Klegg agreed to send me the real thing and a UPS label to send the empty ones back. That was a month ago. They have gone radio silent after giving me one of those tracking numbers that when you track them say the item has not been received yet by UPS.
There web site has disappeared and the company phone has been shut off. (They have, however, announced a letter of intent to acquire a property management company in Las Vegas a week or so ago -- keeping foreclosed properties up.)
Scammers? If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck .......
STAY AWAY!

After reading all the wonderful reviews of this product it seemed to be perfect to store and use for my small home network instead of the other three computers getting data from my main computer. I had hoped it would be as easy and as lighting fast as I had read. It was not, not even close. Tech support is poor; performance of this product is extremely poor. It would take my other computers about 20-25 seconds to access the main database I use, now with this Netdisk it is at least 58 second or more. Even accessing the data the performance is sluggish and in no way worth the money spent. Tech support said I had an old driver. I installed the new driver with no change. Do not invest any money in this product if speed is what you want.
 great most of the time May 30, 2007

PRO's - if you write software the proper way - not like the MS SQL crap with all the registry and DLL stuff attached to run it , you can actually create and run application on here with multiple users and it works great. No need for a Server, Server Licenses, SQL licenses and all that jazz.
CONs - once during an update of the drivers i did lose the drive and had to restore.
THis is much faster than a NAS drive that i also tested. Seemed like the NAS was substantially slower on my applications testing..

I don't know what to think about their product right now. I purchased a 160 gig version in an older box type that didn't have the on/off switch. It was working excellent! I then purchased a 250 gig version with the on/off switch. So far no problems with the newer one but the older one has just crashed after many many problems. I used it for a couple years and then started to have problems left and right. It was working good until I upgraded to the latest driver then it wouldn't work with two computers, but the newest driver fixed that. At times it would freeze up and I'd have to unplug it and remount it to get it to work. Everytime I would try to back it up to the new netdisk I'd get error messages. Stupid me kept all my pictures, movies, home videos, tax and financial records, and mp3's on it. Then one day....it stopped recognizing it so I installed it in my computer and it said I had to reformat it. I contacted tech support and they said that I could send it in to see if they could fix it. No way not with all those irreplaceable files. I recovered what I could with my erroneous backups and am now trying to see if I can recover the rest without paying over $100 dollars. This was supposed to be my backup, but you have to backup your backup!! I don't think I'm going to buy another one and am reluctant to try another network attached drive.

I bought one of these about two years ago and could never get it to work with more than one computer at a time. Eventually I just used it with one computer...moved years worth of photo files to it to free up space on my laptop. Then I didn't use it for quite a while. Just got a new laptop, new router to plug the disk into, and decided to recover my files. Downloaded the latest driver, went through re-registering the thing...out of about 20 tries, maybe 3 times it indicated it was mounted. But when I tried to open the disk it would get disconnected. Finally hooked it up via USB just to see if I could copy my files and now it shows up as an unformatted disk. Ximeta web site is wholly unhelpful. Guess I'll be taking it to a data recovery specialist...will never buy Ximeta anything again.
