browser. That makes it a snap to grab a file from any computer

attached to the home network and share content with friends and

family everywhere. For a truly rich home entertainment

experience, it's easy to create a centralized library of household

photos, videos, and music that offers anytime access and streaming

Top Five Features

Maxtor Central Axis Home Edition

Network Storage Drive

Automated Data

Protection Automatically backs up all network-

connected PCs and Macs to one central, safe

location. Simply choose which files and

folders want to back up and how often,.

Central Axis does the rest.

Secure Internet Access Securely access stored content and even view

images and slideshows from any Internet-

connected PC, Mac, or laptop. No special

software is needed, and the firewall stays

intact.

download select photos and other files via the

Web. It’s even possible to authorize guests to

upload their own content.

Convenient Media Access

device.*

Printer Sharing Enable network printing in your household by

Axis.

Additional Features

The reason most home computer users don't back up their data is

the hassle that is usually involved. Central Axis was designed for

ease of use and with power management that is sensitive to our

environment.

•Multiversion File Backup. When you back up files, the

Central Access Manager software saves 10 previous, or

historical, versions of each revised file stored on your

Central Axis.

REVIEWERS’ GUIDE: MAXTOR CENTRAL AXIS

•Ease of use. Central Axis is designed with easy installation

and user-friendly design in mind. Simply plug the Central

Axis into an available Ethernet port on the home network

router and it automatically configures itself to the network.

The unit quickly loads and organizes content by file type;

provides at-a-glance storage and backup status; and sends

out e-mail notifications when a system event warrants.

Organize Files. With the Drag and Sort™ feature, users can

easily organize files automatically.

•USB port for expansion. Located on the rear panel, the

USB 2.0/1.1 port can be used to connect an additional

external hard drives or a printer.

•Efficient power management. Central Axis conserves

energy thanks to an environmentally smart power-

management utility that spins down the drives when they

are not being accessed. When the drive is accessed, the

drives return to full speed almost instantaneously.

•Hardware security. To protect Central Axis from physical

theft, the back of the unit features a lock slot compatible

with Kensington® MicroSaver® and ComboSaver®

braided steel security cable solutions.
