Sony provides storage galore with the launch of Home Share : Shiny Shiny

With all the hoo-ha surrounding house buying, the credit crunch etc (bla bla bla), you'd be forgiven for thinking this post bears some relevance to the housing market. Well it doesn't. This is about Sony and their solution to storage. The Sony Home Share provides a simple to use mahooosive repository where you can store your music, video and pictures on a whopping 1 terabyte (2 x 500GB) drive array. Transferring data is easy too. It features a multi-card reader slot and USB ports, so all you need to do is slot in your card or connect via USB, press the designated One Touch Copy Button and the rest is done automatically, which essentially means you don't have to do very much.

Once it's connected to your home network, you can back up from other PCs, notebooks, netbooks etc using the Remote Home Access function. You can even access the Sony Home Share remotely via the internet, so should you need to back up from a WiFi hotspot in Starbucks, you can.

As well as all the above, your friends and family can get in on the action too, should they want to see your latest holiday snaps, or watch footage of your dad bustin' his best dad moves on the dance floor. All they need is a URL and a security code and they're free to roam about in your collection of multimedia files. This is done with the assistance of a web based application called Vaio Picture Lab hosted on the Home Share.

This is the digital age where downloading opportunities are endless and we no longer have to confine our snaps to 24 or 36 rounds. We are part of a generation who often take too much pictures, or download more than we need to because we can. All we need is somewhere to house our snaps, video footage and copious amounts of music. There's only so long you can keep everything on a memory card, which you'd probably only lose anyway (karma has a way of being a bitch like that, just ask Zara). To top it all off, it has a quiet double fan cooling system, so you shouldn't hear a peep out of it.
