Unboxing the IOCELL NETDISK Hard Drive Enclosure

Unboxing the IOCELL NETDISK Hard Drive Enclosure

Most hard drive enclosures are the same, but the NETDISK from IOCELL Networks is a little bit different. As the same suggest it is network-connected so you have a network connection along side the USB and eSATA connections. This means you can share everything on your drive with the devices that are connected to your network like your Xbox 360 or media center. The extra USB and eSATA connections mean you can also take the drive with you and use it where you may not have an ethernet connection available. Read on to check out our unboxing and overview video!
