Western Digital’s new 8TB ShareSpace NAS is a monster of a storage system for you media hoarders who want to share your good between multiple computers.
The new 8TB model is available as of this week for $1,700, which is a lot of money for a networked storage device until you do the math: 12 cents per GB. That ain’t too shabby.
The ShareSpace is DLNA Certified for media streaming to devices like the Xbox 360 and PS3, and features improved read/write speeds of up to 30% for large media files. Current ShareSpace owners can download a firmware patch to get these improvements for themselves.
It’s pricey, yes, but if you get this thing configured as a RAID array and load it up with all of your music and video, it’d be the ultimate centralized streaming storage box for your home. I want one. [Western Digital]
