Introducing The OWC NASPerform/USB2.0 Enclosure
Thank you for choosing the NASPerform aluminum NDAS/USB2.0 3.5” IDE Hard Drive En-
closure. NASPerform is a high performance network storage device, which can connect
directly to wired or wireless Ethernet network switch or router, and share with multiple
users at office or home. It can also connect with a computer through USB connection
and work as a portable external Hard Drive.
NDAS, a technology developed by XIMETA, Inc, stands for network direct attached stor-
age. NDAS is a better alternative to NAS(network attached storage) or SAN(storage area
network) in SOHO environment. NASPerform is much more cost-effective, efficient and
easy to use. It is for users looking for lower costs and storage associated with backup/
archiving.

directly to a network without a server. NASPerform can be used with a variety of ap-
plications.

files, backup / archiving, etc.)

servation.
