NAS server for small offices, workgroups or home use | |||
The OMNINAS KD20 is a real team player. It can be used to facilitate collaboration between colleagues in a department or to share content fairly between all family members on a home network. No matter whether you're using a notebook, PC, smartphone, games console or smart TV, the KD20 feels right at home in any environment and works with numerous networked devices. |
Initial setup made really easy | |||
Installing a KD20 is quick and uncomplicated. Simply connect the device to your WLAN router (switch or directly to your PC), start the supplied "Finder" and in just a few clicks your new NAS system is available to all devices on your network. |
Fits easily in nearly any environment | |||
The KD20 boasts an elegant pure white design and high-quality material mix. The 2.5 mm thick aluminium body ensures better heat dissipation. It also has particularly space-saving dimensions of just approx. 17 x 9 x 22.5 cm. |
Ultra-quiet operation, almost fanless | |||
The integrated 70 mm fan is only activated under high loads or high temperatures to protect the installed hard disks. In typical environments you'll hear almost nothing from a KD20 in standby mode. |
Always enough space for large amounts of data | |||
Two drive bays (3.5"/8.9 cm) support two 4 TB hard disks. With RAID-1 mode activated, identical data is stored on the two drives. If one drive fails, the disk can be hot-swapped during live operation. |
Rapid data transfer | |||
The dual-core processor used always offers enough resources to transfer up to 75/55 MB/s (R/W) [1] via its Gigabit Ethernet interface. Ideal for ultra-rapid data backups and, of course, for regular read/write transfers to the KD20. |
Saves on electricity bills | |||
In view of today's rising energy prices, the KD20's extreme frugality is a real benefit. At just 9 W in standby mode and 15.5 W in normal mode [1], its consumption is negligible even in continuous operation. Good for the environment and your wallet. |
Integrated card reader for many SD memory cards | |||
Save your digital photos and videos automatically with the AutoCopy feature. Simply insert a memory card in the reader and the KD20 copies all content into your predefined directory. And to help you keep track of your files, the new folder is provided with a date stamp. |
Suitable for data media with USB 3.0 connection | |||
Your hard disks and USB sticks with rapid USB 3.0 interface can also be connected to the KD20. Sharing with newly connected drives is automatically set up so that their data can easily be made available on the network. |
Platform-independent | |||
Thanks to its support of multiple transfer protocols, access from PCs with Windows, OS X or Linux operating systems is possible. |
Mobile access from smartphone, tablet or browser | |||
Provided the "Share Box" function is enabled, you can access data stored on the KD20 from any PC with Internet capability after entering your password. For access from smartphones and tablets, use the free "OMNINAS" app (available for Android and iOS). |
Integrated media server | |||
Multimedia content, e.g. music, videos and photos, can easily be downloaded from DLNA-compatible devices (e.g. games consoles and media players). An iTunes server is also pre-installed. |
Additional data security thanks to automatic backups | |||
To safeguard the data on the KD20, you can back up selected folders to peripheral devices connected via USB or other NAS systems. This process can be time-controlled. |
Time-controlled torrent downloads | |||
Some P2P downloads are particularly large and therefore take a long time to complete. With the KD20 these downloads can be performed without a running PC, thereby saving energy. In order to ensure that other network users are not unnecessarily inconvenienced by the slowing down of shared Internet access, arranged downloads can be delayed and activated e.g. at night. |
Sharing your printer over the network | |||
An integrated printer server offers the opportunity of providing up to two USB printers over the network. Sharing a printer saves costs and energy. |
