Plextor Introduces Consumer Home Server Line

Plextor dips their toe into the home server market with the introduction of the Plextor PX-NAS2 series.

There are three flavors of the PX-NAS2, all of which feature two drive bays. The PX-NAS2-BL1 doesn’t include any drives, but lands at a fairly stiff (for the consumer market) $225 MSRP. The PX-NAS2-1T1 (MSRP $355.00) includes 1TB of storage across two 500 GB dives, and the PX-NAS2-2T1 (MSRP $565.00) boasts 2TBs total, across a part of 1 TB drives.

That’s quite a price premium when good quality 1 TB drives are readily available at around $100, and while I’ve historically had a good experience with Plextor products, I think they need to be a bit more aggressive with their pricing in a fairly crowded market space.

Full details of all three of PX-NAS2 models can be found on the Plextor site.
