Patriot Gauntlet Node Wireless Enclosure Review

We have so many devices that we access data from these days.  It is not just our computer anymore.  Many people are using their smartphone or tablet as their only device for computing.  While these devices can do what many people want them do they are limited at how much storage space they actually have.  Wireless storage is nothing new, network attached storage devices have been out for quite a long time, but they also lack one thing…portability.  This is where Patriot’s Gauntlet Node Wireless Enclosure comes in.  This enclosure supports 2.5-inch hard drives, is small enough to take with you, has its own power source and allows you to stream content to up to 8 different devices wirelessly.  Read on and to see if this is the device you need at add to your mobile arsenal.

Special thanks to Patriot for providing us with the Gauntlet Node Wireless Enclosure to review.
