Bryssel, Belgien – 20 januari 2009 – Optical and hard disk solutions manufacturer Plextor announces a new range of wireless Networked Attached Storage (NAS) drives and media players. The company is responding to the ever-growing demand for wireless products from both professionals and consumers based on their need for more installation flexibility.

Capitalising on the success of its previous range, Plextor has re-engineered its popular single NAS drives to give them wireless capability. These new drives present the perfect solution for more storage capacity by making it easier to store, share and back-up data over a network.
