Tagan Icy Box IB-NAS4220-B

INTRODUCTION

Network attached storage. Storage that is attached to a network. NAS. Don't these words just send shivers up your spine? Is there anything more exciting in the world of computers and technology? Well, truthfully most things out there probably are more exciting...until now. 

OK, so most of you probably don't go running to the local electronics store to check out the latest in network storage devices. I'm also guessing that a lot of you don't even think about owning one. I know I didn't - but that was before I received the Tagan Icy Box IB-NAS4220-B to review.  Having owned several external hard drive enclosures, I've been perfectly happy with my single-drive boxes with pretty blue LEDs that easily connect to a single computer. After all, about the only use for an external hard drive is for backing up critical data on my PC, right? Not so, as I think you'll agree after taking a closer look at the latest Icy Box provided by Tagan.

ABOUT TAGAN

Tagan started out with a group of technology professionals from different countries (Germany, Japan, and the United States) who met in 2001 at Taipei's Computex show. They quickly realized that they had something in common - frustration with the existing design of PC power supplies. With their combined experience and expertise, the group set out to develop the best devices available. After more than a year of extensive research, design and testing, this team of international experts produced some of the best and most reliable power supplies for the PC and other systems. Ultimately, they became the founders of Tagan.

Since it's birth, Tagan's spirit and philosophy has been to produce the best quality power supplies using state-of-the-art technologies and make them accessible to all users. They've taken this same approach to expanding the product line, which now includes computer cases and storage devices.
