Pogoplug may have been the first to make this type of contraption popular, but now it’s time for the no-names to sneak in and offer up comparable devices for a bit less cheddar. Sharkoon has evidently taken a break from punching out SATA HDD Docks in order to develop its USB LANPort, which effectively connects any piece of USB storage (flash drive, external hard drive, etc.) to the web. The USB LANPort 100 converts a single drive into a NAS device, while the USB LANPort 400 puts up to four USB devices on the information superhighway. Both boxes support automatic and manual IP address contacts, and they’re both available now across the pond for €22.99 ($34) / €36.99 ($56) in order of mention. As for a US release? Your guess is as good as ours.
