NAS-Central & Foonas Weblog

Debuting in Japan in mid December is the new HDL-GS line of NAS devices from I-O Data. Among its many features are GBit ethernet, disk sizes ranging from 250 GB to 1 TB, an iTunes music server, DNLA compliant media streamer and OS X client as well as Windows.

Another worthy feature of note is its ability to copy photos from a digital camera via USB, which are manageable by a nice web based interface. Oh yes, it has a pretty looking case too.

So looks like it has all the standard features you’d expect from a good consumer NAS device, but what’s inside it? Is this one going to make it outside of Japan? Currently it seems there is zero information about its hardware available, but we’d guess it might be running Linux like its cousin the GLAN Tank.
