The Mini Home offers you a great way to share your vacation and travel experiences. You can simply drag and drop photos, music files and even videos from any location in the world to your Mini Home, and within minutes your friends and family can easily access them. They simply log on to your LaCie Media Portal to access your customized menu that will direct them to the shared files.
Stream Your Videos and Music
While having immediate access to your videos and music is a great thing, your desktop computers and laptops aren't necessarily the best way to play your media. The Mini Home features built-in media server capabilities that let you stream music to your audio system and videos and photos to your TV. It's also compatible with a wide range of uPnP AV, Windows Connect, and DLNA certified devices, as well as game stations like PS3 or Xbox 360, so you're not beholden to your computer to enjoy your media. But for times when you need to be at your computer, the drive also includes an internal iTunes server that allows you to stream your music to any networked PC or Mac.
More than a media player, though, the Mini Home is an ideal way to keep digital photos safe and organized. With the included back-up software for Windows and Mac OS X, you can quickly and easily back up your home computers to your Mini Home, giving you and your family extra peace of mind. With its 500 GB of capacity, the drive can store up to 500,000 photos, 125,000 songs or 500 movies. From any networked computer you can edit your photos or video, and synchronizing your music library between your laptop and the Mini Home is easy. So whether you're at home or traveling, your music library will always be available to you.
The LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini Home Edition features a rotational speed of 7200 rpm, a cache of at least 16 MB, and a 400 MHz processor with 64 MB of RAM. It also includes a USB port that allows you to add additional back-up capabilities to your network. The drive measures 1.7 x 6.3 x 6.8 inches (WxHxD) and is backed by LaCie's 3-year warranty.
