LG N2B1 Network Attached Storage With Blu-Ray

By on January 27, 2010 in Hardware, Network Attached Storage

LG have produced a couple of great looking NAS devices over the last year or so, and their latest effort, the N2B1 offers a new innovation – an internal Blu-ray rewriter for archiving data up to 50GB.

The N2B1 is a two bay Linux NAS device, accessible by Macs, Windows and Linux PCs. The product supports a number of standard features such as an iTunes Server, DLNA Server, Network Printer sharing (via a USB connection), Bittorrent client and hot swappable hard drives. Remote access to the device is available courtesy of LG’s own DDNS service, lgnas.com.

On the hardware side, you’ll find Gigabit Ethernet, a memory card reader supporting SD, MS, xD and MMC, 3 USB 2.0 ports (including a neat auto-backup feature when you plug in a USB drive) and an eSATA port.

The LG N2B1 is available now, starting at around £250/$320 for the 500GB model. A DVD version of the product, the N2R1 is available at the cheaper price of £149.

      Linux, which is what most (all?) NAS device run.

      Its a shame, it look kind of promising.

    if it writes data to both drives at the same time, how do you hot swap one HD drive – wouldn't that then leave a file fragmented and unuseable?

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/Dave_Marchant Dave_Marchant

    Pretty much all NAS units use their own proprietary file systems leaving you with no recovery mechanism in the even of a total hardware failure. If you had the drives as RAID 1 you could swap a drive as both hold the same data. With RAID 0 the data is striped across the disks and either drive failing would cause everything to go.

    The Lgnas N2B1 manual suggests that folder delete can be recovered from the trash box.  How is this done?
