As the internet community continues to grow, and
more multimedia devices now do offer networking support, the need for an
easy way to share files is now more of a necessity rather than a luxury.
While there are a majority of options out there, such as the excellent
Ximeta NetDisk I reviewed some time ago, they can be rather expensive and
simply not an option for those on a budget. That's where the V-Gear LANDisk
comes in. It is the first hard disk enclosure I've found that fully supports
networking. Those looking for a cost-effective and easy way of sharing files
will find this product of high interest.

The LANDisk, despite how easy it is to install
and use, comes with excellent documentation. Also included with the
unit is a power adapter, modified IDE and power cables, and even a precision
screwdriver.
Design
This unique hard drive enclosure does sport a
very appealing design...

Practically the whole enclosure is made of
aluminum and of the highest quality. The front has a black mirror-like
plastic panel that reveals the status LEDs. The rear of the unit
has the standard RJ-45 LAN jack, power connector, reset switch and on/off
switch.

Both sides of the enclosure as well as the nice
looking base are made out of aluminum with a quality silver finish.
Overall, the unit does not, by any means, feel or look cheap and will
compliment modern systems or multimedia components quite well!
