The new Maxtor Central Axis network attached drive by Seagate is a back up and storage device for your entire network. A concept once only reserved for the small business and enterprise space, networked storage is increasingly becoming a viable option for multiple-computer homes.
According to Yankee Group's 2008 Device Survey, of those who purchased network routers for the home, 75.9% did so with the intent of providing multiple computers with access to the Internet. The challenge of these multi-computer households is the ability to share and back up files from each computer. Maxtor Central Axis network drive allows for each computer in the home to be automatically backed up, so important files and precious memories are sheltered from virus infections or disc drive failures.
