Macally PHR-100NDAS Netdisk/Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Enclosure for 3.5" Hard Disk Drive Review

Macally PHR-100NDAS Netdisk/Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Enclosure for 3.5 Hard Disk Drive

If you are looking to stream video or require high transfer speeds, this enclosure is for you. I like that is has both Ethernet and USB2. It feels like a quality made product. I also like that it can use NTFS drives as well as FAT32 drives. Unfortunately, the drive does not spin down when not in use over an extended period of time. Also, a client must be installed on each computer acceessing the drive. This client disabled my laptop's ability to sleep when I closed the lid. I found myself turning off the drive when I had no intention of using it but this did not fit my situation. I wanted a drive that I can leave on and has a power saving mode. The transfer speeds were excellent though - I streamed a DVD rip to three computers simultaneously and I didn't even experience a slight hiccup.

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

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.
