Product Description

From the Manufacturer

From the Manufacturer
 
"The sleek, intuitive interface does an excellent job of both searching for and organizing photos, music, and movies. Storing and streaming media might not be novel, but it's never been this user-friendly."

"…presents an easy way to consolidate and navigate through all of your networked audio, video and photos."
 

Unlike other storage solutions, Media Hub organizes your videos, photos and music for you!

With the revolutionary new Linksys by Cisco Media Hub you can access and stream your digital music, photos, and videos throughout your home. With one or two high capacity SATA hard drives in the Media Hub it becomes much more than a mere networked storage device. Unlike other NAS products it's designed to aggregate media from your PCs and other storage devices, organize it into categories and present them back to all the users on the network, so you can quickly find the photo, song or video you want.

With the Media Hub it's easy to view and listen to your digital memories on a PC, laptop, or TV1.. The Media Hub consolidates songs from the same album into one virtual album even if they are stored on different networked computers. And when you're away, you or your family and friends can remotely access your media anywhere in the world through an Internet connection2. Upload and instantly share your digital photos or listen to your music library right from the Internet without lugging around a hard drive. Linksys by Cisco Media Hubs also include automatic backup software for Windows so you can save your treasured photos, music and videos in one device. Media Hubs are designed to be automatically recognized and accessed by Linksys by Cisco Wireless Home Audio components, so you can get your digital music off of your PCs and playing throughout your home.


Product Features:

  • Store thousands of photos or songs or hundreds of hours of DVD-quality video (with one or two SATA hard drives sold separately)
  • Media Importer feature for Windows or Mac OS X helps Import media files to the Media Hub from your computer
  • Stand-alone file serving and media streaming - no PC required.
    * Back up your PCs automatically, or on-demand

With massive capacity, intelligent aggregation, and media-optimized sharing and file-serving capabilities, it's an ideal way to manage your material, enjoy your entertainment, and share your memories.

Store Your Treasured Files

Find It, Store It, Access It 
The Linksys by Cisco Media Hub finds your files where they live on your home network. Got three songs on your laptop and the rest on another computer? It’ll find them and organize them by artist and album. Same for your photos, movies, and documents. So your files are accessible and orderly, in one place, whether you’re at home or on the road. 



Share with Family & Friends
Web Access--It’s a digital photographer’s dream. If you shoot a lot of photos and have had issues emailing them, then the Media Hub offers you a better way. Thanks to our remote access hosted by Cisco, you can give out your Media Hub’s Web address so friends and family can view your photos in the same place. 

Remote Streaming and Downloads
Music fans know that their favorite songs are more enjoyable when they’re accessible. Imagine if you could set the mood anywhere you go with just the right track, or DJ a party without bringing a thing. Movie buffs and home videographers can also upload and download wherever they go. So no one has to miss those first steps. 

Now Playing: 3 HD Streams at Once
Play your media around your house. The Media Hub is capable of streaming three simultaneous high-definition video streams. So you can have a dance party in the living room, a photo slideshow in the family room, and movies for the little guys in the basement.

Automatic or On-Demand Backup for PCs
Photos, home movies, and precious documents are irreplaceable. But they’ll be safer and more secure with timed automatic backup. The files in the folders you choose can be automatically copied to the Media Hub on a recurring basis. So you never have to think about backing them up again. 

Expandability 
You’ve got options. Use your own hard drive, or choose one of ours. Media Hub models are available with hard drives and there’s an extra drive bay so you can add another hard drive. Depending on your hard drive configuration, you can have room enough to fill your Media Hub with hundreds of thousands of photos or music files, and hundreds of hours of movies.

How Does Streaming Work?
The Media Hub plugs into your wireless router and then streams your files:  

The Media Hub’s software interface makes it easy to view and play your photos, music and movies right on any PC on your home network. You don’t even need a live Internet connection.
If you have a PlayStation3, XBOX 360 or other media extender/DMA, you can stream movies and slideshows from the Media Hub to your TV.  UPnP-enabled wireless music bridges or receivers, including Linksys by Cisco Wireless Home Audio systems, can play digital music stored on your Media Hub.

2.0 out of 5 stars Would not recommend as Media Hub, OK for NAS, February 6, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cisco-Linksys Media Hub (Without Drive, NMH300) (Electronics)
The product has firmware issues that Linksys is not willing to work on because the product has not been well accepted in the market place. The second level support will basically tell you that there is no plan to work on any issues with this unit because it is not selling as expected. I would never buy another product from Linksys because of that attitude. I think that if you release a product to the market it is your's to support. Forcing the customer to first do marketing research to determine market acceptance is not good business. If you are going to use this as a simple NAS device it's fine but don't expect any other support beyond that from Linksys in a timely manner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good NAS device, December 16, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cisco-Linksys Media Hub (Without Drive, NMH300) (Electronics)
I am using the Media Hub more as NAS storage than an actual Media Hub. I have been running the box for over a month with no issues. IT was very easy to configure and access. The built-in FTP server is especially handy and performance is very good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good NAS and Media hub, January 27, 2011
By 
Carlos (Katy, TX, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cisco-Linksys Media Hub (Without Drive, NMH300) (Electronics)
We have been using this unit for about a year now. We configured 2x 2TB WD20EARS hard drives in it and configure it as RAID 1 (mirror) so keep a backup of all our digital photos, music and movies.

The first improvement over the unit we were using before was the improved access speed. We have it installed on out home network that we upgraded to a 1Gbps using Netgear Gigabit switches and CAT6 cable. Now we can access the content from any computer in the house very quickly.

The unit is very quiet even when it is reading/writing to disk. In this aspect it is way better than the NAS200 we had before.

The iTunes server works really well. We can access the music and videos in this unit from any computer running iTunes, including an AppleTV (but not so lucky with the iPad, at least with the firmware released by the time I am writing this).

I have only one complain regarding the setup and it is that it took for the software a long while to detect the unit and without this step you can't continue the setup. For the rest, this is a very solid unit. We have used it for one year without turning it off and it is available 24/7 every time we have needed it.

On the down side, if you were looking at creating access accounts with privacy settings for each member of the family to have individual/private back ups and files, I haven't been able to do it. I stopped looking for it as well. I only found that the unit has one user and 2 passwords depending on the type of access allowed (1 star less for that). If you don't care about this, this is your unit.
