MVIX Wireless HD Media HDD Enclosure

Topic:

MVIX Wireless HD Media HDD Enclosure Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review Korean Unicorn Information System offers a media HDD enclosure with LAN and Wi-Fi interface.

Update:
The MVix Wireless HD Media HDD Enclosure is shipping NOW!

I have not found yet any other AV HDD enclosure that features a wireless interface. The MVIX seems to be the first one. If you know about another please email me.

Media HDD enclosures with LAN are available, like the AL Tech Mediagate. Most media enclosures are still just offering USB interfaces, which is really not that convenient.
Wireless access to the media drive is of course the best. You can place it in your living room and update the videos or audio files remotely from you PC without wiring your place or having to invest in a wireless adapter. Read more
