Storage Central is easy to setup and install. Just slide in one or two 3.5” IDE disk drives of any capacity; connect Storage Central to any wired or wireless router or switch from any vendor, then configure with Smart Wizard install assistant. Now you’re ready to access files from any PC on your network, as a simple letter drive.

Storage Central automatically stores and mirrors your important digital content such as music, games, photos, and more. Storage Central ensures that no one can access your files but you and delivers the utmost privacy of your valuable data content. With Storage Central, you can expand outgrown storage volumes, and add more capacity whenever you need it—instantly and easily.

Advanced Technology

Storage Central features Z-SAN (Storage Area Network) technology, an advanced network storage technology. Z-SANs provide IP-based, block-level data transfers that enable multiple users to make efficient use of drives within the network through the dynamic allocation of volumes across multiple hard disks. Z-SAN also enables file and volume sharing between multiple users on the network to be as seamless as accessing their local C:\ drive. Additionally, Z-SAN assures users that their files are protected from hard disk failure, through automatic mirroring between two hard disks within the same Storage Central unit, or within a network of multiple Storage Central devices.
