Dear Friends & Customers
We proud to present you our new coming Xtreamer 2-Bay NAS model - the eTRAYz with a special price and limited time offer.
We find that a true comprehensive solution to your media streaming/sharing need cannot be met only based on limited power embeded RTL solution that is not optimized for networking. More than once we read your requests for powerfull appls thatnecessarliy consumes very big amount of CPU power and necessitates the device to stay in idle mode (and therefore heat up). We believe that without a powerful netowr based - designated solution that will allow you the power, freedom and features you may require it will be very hard to get the maximum power out of your xtreamer. the problem was you had to pay 200 or more euro for a NAS solution that no necessarily was ever optimized for your xtreamer .
We proudly introduce you the Xtreamer eTRAYz - an affordable 2-Bay up to 4 Terabyte solution that incorporates inside a very small ultra compact solution with a price that will result in you being able to enjoy both worlds of NAS and HD media playback less the price of 1 alternative Media player. Each solution ofcourse can stand on its own.
We decided to give you our exisiting and potential customers this option as an alternative to any other media player so called "comprehensive" solution you may find in the market as of today.
