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

Introducing Media Hub Home Entertainment Storage with Two Bays NMH300

You love your media, so treat it well. The Media Hub makes it easy to organize, access, and share your digital video, photos, and music--around your home and around the world. 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. Show your media how much you love it--give it a Hub.

Two SATA drive bays allow you to add the amount of storage that's right for you. No drive included.

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.
