Asus Announce WiFi Hard Drive Enclosure

Asus have produced a hard drive enclosure with a built in 802.11g adaptor and two 10/100 Ethernet ports: the WL-HDD. At 54 Mps on the wireless connection, it’s not really fast enough for heavy corporate use on the 802.11g connection only, but it is ideal for a home server – and is priced accordingly: approx US$150 for the enclosure, you supply the ATA-100 drive.

Like many network attached storage systems, the device is managed through a simple HTML interface, enabling administrators to grant access to files on the drive.

Matt Jones comes up with an interesting idea
