<em>&quot;It's been a hot minute since we've seen any fresh new kit from Plextor, but the firm has just rolled out a new pair of NAS drives for those on the hunt for -- what else? -- networked storage. The StorX PX-NAS500L / PX-NAS1000L drives offer up 500GB and 1TB of capacity, respectively, and each unit includes a gigabit Ethernet port, one-touch USB back-up button and the ability to grow thanks to a pair of USB 2.0 sockets. Beyond that, you won't find much else special about the new duo, and your guess is as good as ours on pricing / availability.&quot;<br /><br /></em><img border="1" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1210634732.usr10.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />Not many details on this, but I really like that these network drives are starting to include USB for expandability.&nbsp; Now they just need to start making matching USB enclosures for the additional drives and then they might be on to something.

It's strange to see Plextor doing anything other than optical drives, but I guess there's not much margin left in that business...
