Go round with Sony's terabyte-sized NAS

Philip Wong | May 07, 2008

Which company produces uniquely round network-attached storage (NAS)? Sony, of course! If you're a fan of its similarly shaped VGX-TP2G Media Center PC, the 1TB VGF-HS1 and 1.5TB HS1S will right feel at home, too. Design and generous capacity aside, these networked storage boxes also come with an integrated multiformat memory reader and a USB port.

Since they're DLNA-compatible, both will readily stream with a PlayStation 3 and PCs running Windows Media Player 11 software. Format-wise, there are MP3, WAV, ATRAC, AAC, WMA, JPEG, BMP, PNG, AVCHD, MPEG-2 and HDV support. To value add, there is the VAIO Picture Lab software to enable photo playback through PCs

As with most Japan-centric releases, these will be mainly for the Japanese market priced at US$570 and US$760 for the 1TB and 1.5TB model, respectively.
