World's First 'Network Attached Storage' Device With Built-In Blu-ray Drive Leads LG Electronics' Expansive Line of Optical Disc Drives
2009 Line Includes Blu-ray Writer and Slim Portable Models
LAS VEGAS, -- LG Electronics, the world's leading* supplier of optical storage devices, previewed its Network Attached Storage (NAS) device and its broad line of storage options at the 2009 International CES(R).
Designed for the sophisticated tech consumer and the small office-home office (SoHo) user, LG's CES Innovations Award-winning NAS device combines a secure storage option for large amounts of data with the capability to read and write in high definition. LG's full line of information technology (IT) products is on display at the 2009 International CES (Booth #8214, Central Hall, Las Vegas Convention Center).
"Safe and secure storage of digital content is a top priority for techies and SoHo users alike," said Peter Reiner, senior vice president, marketing and strategy, LG Electronics North America. "LG's NAS device is the perfect complement to our award-winning optical disc drive line as it not only provides data security but also offers large storage capacity and gives users the flexibility to read and write Blu-ray."
Smart Data Management
The world's first Network Attached Storage device with a built-in Blu-ray drive (model N4B1) attaches to a network instead of PC to enable efficient and secure data storage. Its capacity can be expanded by a four-bay storage configuration to a maximum of 4TB. To facilitate easier archiving, the N4B1 automatically creates a content catalog when data is saved to the Blu-ray disc. Additionally, the management system automatically tracks what is downloaded, saving business owners and consumers' time and space by not duplicating files. Additional features include:
* Compatibility with Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems allows
users on different operating systems to share and store data
* Compatibility with all current types of CD, DVD and BD media up to 50GB
* Auto Disc Back-up: Updates data and manages disc lists
* Virtual Disc Library: Allows a single disc to be shared among many
users
* Auto Sync: Automatically updates PC activity and backs up selected data
while creating a catalogue on Blu-Ray media
* RAID 5: Robust hot-swap mechanism & RAID migration supported to protect
against data loss
* Memory card reader
* Ability to stream content to Blu-ray players
* Gigabit Ethernet Connection
* Three USB 2.0 connections
Compact Blu-ray Burner
The LG BE08 Blu-ray disc drive adds a high-definition component to help consumers transform the home office into a mini home theater. Its increased Blu-ray read and write speed of 8X is among the world's fastest: the BE08 can burn a full single layer BD disc (25GB) in only 13 minutes versus an average of 23 minutes at 4x for other devices. It also up-converts standard DVDs to near-HD levels. The unit's software also includes a new function that allows consumers to record high-definition content to a Blu-ray disc.
The compact and stylish storage option also features a Silent Drive to reduce noise during media playback. Additional product specifications include:
* DVD+/-R 16x Read/Write compatible
* CD-R 40x Read/Write compatible
* Record up to 50GB of data, equivalent to 5 hours of high-definition
video or 25 hours of standard definition video (on 50GB BD Double Layer
recordable media)
* USB 2.0 connectivity
* Music Video Creation allows users to create video from digital photos
* SATA interface for enhanced performance, smaller cables and easy
integration
Portability and Style

* SecurDisc(TM) provides data protection and content access controls in
all optical formats
