Patriot Memory Valkyrie NAS review
1. Features
Patriot Memory has recently released its 'Valkyrie' Dual Bay network attached storage (NAS) device targeted for SOHO and 'prosumer' users. The device is ideal for homes or offices with multiple computers when used as a central storage server, digital media hub, or FTP server for remote users.
NAS has become the central digital media and file 'hub' for your entire network. Rather than supporting just one computer, now you can support multiple digital devices within the home as well as share files across the internet. The Patriot Valkyrie Dual Bay NAS offers large storage capacity (up to 4TB total storage using 2 x SATA HDD), a compact design and a flexible interface for managing multiple users and access rights. Valkyrie's Web access feature allows remote users to access all digital files stored on the Valkyrie, making file exchange or retrieval possible via an internet connection anywhere in the world. Multimedia streaming is possible with built-in UPnP and DNLA support and iTunesmusic server while also offering PC-less downloading via BitTorrent.
