Ximeta Netdisk Review

By

Quote from the review at HardExtreme:

” Ximeta Inc. based in Irvine, CA recently unveiled its line of Netdisk external hard drives. The Netdisk is a robust external hard drive solution that takes advantage of Ximeta’s own NDAS technology. Ximeta’s site states, “NDAS is an acronym for Network Direct Attached Storage, XIMETA’s patented disk storage technology which allows direct connection to your network without a server, IP address, or a protocol.” The drive is the first in its class that allows you to connect it to a network via Ethernet without a host.There is no need to purchase expensive server equipment so I find this very cost effective. You can also use it as a regular USB 2.0 drive. In our review we’ll be going over some of the features of the Netdisk as well as let you know about the final verdict and whether we’ll award it the Editors Choice Award for January.”

“The Ximeta NetDisk offers a great new storage solution at a very attractive price. Gone will be the days of a dedicated file server for homes and small businesses. The NetDisk is a fraction of the cost, noise, and size of most file servers. If you are looking for an extremely high speed solution, you might want to look elsewhere but with the future addition of Linux and Mac support, the practicality of the NetDisk and the performance we experienced, we feel the NetDisk would make a great addition to any network. We will definitely be using it in our office for quite some time.”

I work with the best people in the world and get paid to play with gadgets. What's not to like?
I’ve reviewed every AMD and Nvidia GPU this generation — here’s how the two companies stack up
Three graphics cards on a gray background.

Nvidia and AMD make the best graphics cards you can buy, but choosing between them isn't easy. Unlike previous generations, AMD and Nvidia trade blows point-for-point in 2024, and picking a brand to go with isn't as easy as counting the dollars in your wallet.

I've reviewed every graphics card AMD and Nvidia have released this generation, comparing not only raw performance, but also features like DLSS and FSR, ray tracing performance, and how VRAM works in modern games. After dozens of graphics card reviews, here's how AMD and Nvidia stack up against each other in 2024.

I review laptops for a living, and these are two under $1,000 I always recommend
Asus Zenbook 14 Q425 front view showing display and keyboard.

Midrange laptops have undergone a quiet renaissance, with options in the $1,000 range (or slightly less) offering performance, build quality, and displays that rival laptops costing twice as much a few years go. If your budget is limited, but you still need a great laptop, you're in luck.

Two recent laptops I reviewed fall into this category. The Asus Zenbook 14 Q425 and Lenovo Slim 7i Gen 9 offer the same fast Meteor Lake chipsets and excellent OLED displays, but they're not identical. Which wins in a head-to-head comparison?

MSI Claw slammed as ‘impossible to recommend’ in early review
Assassin's Creed Mirage on the MSI Claw handheld.

The new MSI Claw handheld isn't off to a great start. The handheld gaming PC, announced in January and released in early March, already set off alarm bells when MSI decided to put the handheld on sale before sending units out to reviewers. Still, a handful of YouTubers have gotten their hands on the device -- and the early impressions aren't promising.
