LaCie Network Space 2 lets you stream photos, music and videos to computers on the local network or to any UPnP/DLNA compliant devices like PlayStation3 or Xbox 360. It includes iTunes server software so Mac and PCs can see and play content from the LaCie Network Space 2 directly through the iTunes interface. It also includes Download Machine that allows multiple torrent downloads, even when your computer is turned off. 



While the LaCie Network Space 2 can perform at speeds of up to 65MB/second over the Ethernet connection, you may choose to leverage it as an external USB hard drive -- connecting it directly to your computer for off-network file transfer and accessibility. 



Additionally, there's an USB 2.0 host connection in the front of the device that allows you to connect a USB flash drive, external hard drive or digital camera, and import files automatically without the need of a computer. The LaCie Network Space 2 includes a built-in power management widget, which lets you control both the light on your drive, as well as your drive's Eco Management; placing the drive into a low power setting at scheduled time intervals or when the product is inactive. Additionally, the Network Space 2 can be awakened through its Wake-on-LAN functionality.


Designed exclusively for LaCie by Neil Poulton, the compact LaCie Network Space 2 has a mirror-polished black finish with a blue LED strip on its underside that creates an ambient glow. It's available in a 1TB capacity in Europe and will be available worldwide later this year.
