Just to be clear, the LX is only an enclosure, meaning you’ll have to provide your own IDE hard drive. The LX is similar to the familiar USB- or FireWire-based external hard drive enclosures with two distinct differences. First, it offers 10/100 Ethernet connectivity via an RJ-45 connection, and secondly, it doesn’t need to be directly connected to a PC to function. You can assign an IP address to the LX and then access it as you would any other node on your network - hence, Network Attached Storage (NAS).
