As the extensive use of digital
consumer electronics contin-
ues to accelerate exponential-
ly, consumers and profession-
als are increasingly looking
for data storage and sharing solutions.
It’s clear why internal hard drives are rou-
tinely filled and servers stagger as storage archi-
tects struggle to keep up with the ever-evolv-
ing needs of digital consumers. Capacity and
compatibility limitations often contribute to
intractable workflow restrictions, and common
network storage solutions are prohibitively ex-
pensive and infamously difficult to integrate
into existing networks.
Solutions from LaCie
Meet the solution to your data-sharing needs:
the LaCie Ethernet Disk and Ethernet Disk
mini. Sharing huge amounts of data effort-
lessly between Windows, Apple and Linux en-
vironments is a breeze for the Ethernet Disk
and Ethernet Disk mini.
More Than Hard Drives
ink of the Ethernet Disk and Ethernet Disk
mini as “more than hard drives.” One of the
advantages of network storage is that you don’t
need to place the storage device near to your
computer. Simply power on the drive, plug the
Ethernet chord into a router or a switch on the
network, and begin sharing files.
e beauty of the Ethernet Disk and Eth-
ernet Disk mini lies in their simplicity. Once
the Ethernet Disk or Ethernet Disk mini is
connected to your network, all you need to
do is type http://edmini or the drive’s IP ad-
dress in your browser’s address field to access
the configuration page. Finding your drive’s
IP address couldn’t be easier; simply download
LaCie’s free IP Configurator.
Accessible to any computer via a Web
browser, administration and control can be
managed remotely or on-site, and doesn’t re-
quire a degree in network administration.

effortless setup. Both solutions are compatible
with TCP/IP, SMB/CIFS, Apple Talk, FTP
and HTTP file sharing protocols to easily in-
tegrate into your operating configuration.
e ExtremeZ-IP File Server (compatible
with the Ethernet Disk only) offers support
for Apple’s latest version of the Apple file
sharing protocol, AFP v3.1, as well as all the
important new Mac OS X features like sup-
port for long file names, file sizes over 2GB on
the server, single sign-on authentication us-
ing Kerberos, and true compatibility between
Mac OS 9** and Mac OS X files.
e Ethernet Disk supports up to 100 us-
ers – 25 connected simultaneously – on the
