Comments about LaCie LaPlug Wi-Fi Media Adapter:
If you have several older external USB2.0 drives sitting around and you are wandering what should you do with them, then LaPlug is the easiest solution how to make all these older drives usable again and it is not too expensive either. It opens door for extra storage on the network (which means you can access it from anywhere on your network), also it can serve as a media adapter. You can have all of your photos, musics, videos on the network, you can backup your data, etc. And all these possible with a very little investment comparing to a real network drives. It's just perfect gadget.
