Overview

With the LaCie Network Space 2, you're not simply storing files from your computer; you're storing files from all over your home. Connect the Network Space 2 through the Ethernet port to a computer or to a router, and share and store all of your media files from anywhere in your house, with the read and write speeds that you need. You can even back up multiple computers to ensure that your files are safe. The included LaCie Network Assistant allows you to quickly start using your product after completing a few short steps. This helps the Network Space 2 to be userfriendly and incredibly easy to use just like a classic LaCie hard disk.

It's easy to access the LaCie Network Space 2 from any computer connected on the local network or any networked equipment that's UPnP/DLNA certified (like your PlayStation3 or Xbox). At home, networked computers can access the iTunes library or stored photos and everyone can stream music or videos to a networked UPnP AV-certified player or adapter. The Network Space 2 even comes with builtin private and public shares. The remote access feature means that your files are always accessible, even if you arent around. You can even access your torrent downloads, or automatically import pictures when your computer is switched off!

Wireless backup for Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard. 

Back up a lifetime's worth of memories with Time Capsule, a wireless hard drive that works seamlessly with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard. It’s also a full-featured 802.11n Wi-Fi base station with simultaneous dual-band support. Choose from 2TB and 3TB models.

Automatic backup with Time Machine.

Time Capsule works automatically with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard to create the perfect no-hassle backup solution. There are no cables, and you can back up all the computers in your home to a central location. New technologies in Time Capsule and refinements to Time Machine make backing up to Time Capsule using Snow Leopard up to 75 per cent faster than before.

Server-grade storage.

The massive 2TB server-grade hard drive gives you all the capacity and safety you need for backing up all your Mac computers.

Easy wireless networking.

Connect your DSL or cable modem to Time Capsule, then quickly set it up with the easy-to-use AirPort Utility, which is available as download for both Mac OS X and Windows. In minutes, you and up to 50 others can use your Mac computers or PCs to surf the web, stream video, share photos and more — without wires

Simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi.

For maximum range and compatibility, Time Capsule works simultaneously on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, allowing all the devices on the network to use the most efficient band automatically. It uses the latest 802.11n wireless technology, so you can enjoy up to five times the Wi-Fi performance and up to twice the range of 802.11g wireless networks.

Guest networking.

Set up a separate Wi-Fi network with a separate password for your visitors. Simply enable the guest networking feature, and your guests can use the Internet but can’t access other parts of your private network, such as your computers, printers and attached hard drives.

Wireless drive sharing.

Time Capsule also works great as a wireless hard drive, whether you have a Mac or a PC. It sets up in a snap, giving you a networked hard drive you can use for storing and sharing all kinds of files. If you’re a MobileMe member using a Mac with Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard, you can even access the files on the drive over the Internet.

Print without wires.

Print documents, photos and more from any room in your home or office to a central printer connected to Time Capsule via USB. (See system requirements.)

Strong security and access controls.

Rest easy — AirPort Extreme takes strong measures to prevent unauthorised intrusion into your wireless network. It offers a built-in firewall and supports industry-standard encryption technologies including WPA/WPA2 and 128-bit WEP. Yet it’s still easy for authorised users to connect to the base station, thanks to its simple set-up utility and powerful access controls.

Works with iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, and more.

Time Capsule works with Mac computers, PCs, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Apple TV and virtually all 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi wireless devices — all at the same time.
