Netgear launches simple-to-use network storage device

Netgear has announced the launch of a new network storage device with remote access for users to centralise and share media.

The firm's new Stora allows users to accumulate media on a central unit and use them on any network device and features a "smooth user interface" to make it simple to use, according to the manufacturer.

Netgear adds that it removes the need to undergo the "time consuming process" of uploading pictures to internet sites or sharing them via email.

Drew Meyer, director of marketing for Netgear's Network Storage Business Unit, said he feels the Stora "exemplifies the next generation" of network storage devices.

He added: "Netgear has already made its mark in the business and prosumer market with our ReadyNAS line, but Stora is most definitely a platform for everyone.

"Stora gives users the features they need today with a consumer-friendly user interface and price point, making their media available to them and their designated friends and families anytime, anywhere--even on mobile smartphones."

Netgear recently launched a new Ethernet adaptor, the Moca Coaxial Ethernet Adapter Kit, aimed at people who cannot access a Wi-Fi connection.
