Princeton 500GB Media Streaming Hard Drive

Princeton Technology is set to release another media streaming hard drive onto the market. This is a 500GB drive that you can hook up to your network and it provides an iTunes server as well as all of the DLNA capabilities that you would expect from a device like this. For good measure they have even added an extra USB port on the back to use for a printer or to chain another USB drive to it.

One thing we constantly blog about here is off loading our media servers from our PC to these small, quiet, low power devices. We would much rather stream everything from something like this rather then leaving our power hungry and loud PC on all the time.

We have been seeing more and more units like this and it seems that companies are starting to really catch on that more and more people have home networks and they aren't satisfied with your basic USB drive. They want something you can hook up to the network and that is available to everyone.

This won't available in the States just yet as it is set for a Japanese release later this month, but if we hear of it hitting our shores you can be sure that we will snatch one up. via engadget
