Cisco's making its presence known at CES with three new sleek looking web-enabled Media Hub NAS boxes. Adding to the sex appeal is a front-panel LCD and 6-in-1 media card reader found on the NMH405 (500GB, $400) and NMH410 (1TB, $430), while the 500GB NMH305 trades in those extras for a cheaper price tag ($350). All three versions ship with a single drive setup with the ability to accommodate a second drive configured as JBOD or in a RAID 1 array.
One of the main selling points looks to be the slick user interface accessible through any web browser equipped with Flash 9 or later. From within the UI, users can drag-and-drop files and folders or choose to upload them instead using the File Browser feature (doesn't support folders). Other goodies include a Media Importer application designed to automatically scan local and network shares and copy them to the Media Hub, and the ability to stream to any UPnP AV / DLNA device, as well as iTunes streaming.
According to SmallNetBuilder.com, who has been playing with one of the NAS boxes, Cisco managed to make the remote access feature stupid simple, bypassing the need to play around with your router's settings or setting up and configuring a dynamic DNS account.

For a $500 media card with those feautures, I think it's all worth it. Fits well a computer ergonomics office room.

Hmmm. Never been a huge fan of Linksys products outside of their routers, but who knows. This could be interesting. Seem's like integrated LCD displays are hot ticket at this years CES.

Looks interesting. I'd like to see an alternative to the Flash web interface though. That might be all whiz-bang when you have a nice big screen and fast system to access it from, but they need a low-bandwidth, minimal browser requirements alternative too.
