Description

Besides looking at the new TJ11 case from SilverStone we also got pulled into a small meeting room to get an exclusive look at SilverStone's upcoming DC01 NAS.

The Taiwanese company is still finishing off the design and some other tweaks to the software but the DC01 looks to have some potential as a small light weight NAS. The hardware is protected by a stylish looking small aluminum casing measuring 123mm (W) x 123mm (D) x 33mm (H). It houses a single 2.5-inch hard drive or SSD along with the tiny little PCB inside. The system is powered by a 750MHz dual-core ARM processor.

Like other NAS devices there is a web-based control panel you can go into and control various aspects of your storage. SilverStone made us of a Linux based operating system which allows you to do just that but it has the feel of an operating system like the Apple Mac OS. You can do things like view photos and videos and listen to music. While we didn't see it in action you can also get social with Facebook and others. I am not exactly sure why you would run Facebook through the web-based interface of the NAS but it is there anyway. Distributed by Tubemogul.
