Silex has a new option for sharing your USB devices with the rest of your network. Several other manufacturers have released very useful devices like this but most of them are limited by the relatively low bandwidth of the network. Silex's SX-3000GB helps remedy that problem being able to connect at gigabit speeds. The compact SX-3000GB sports 2 USB 2.0 ports and a 10/100/1000 RJ-45 network port. Silex provides each of the USB ports with the standard 500mA power. Most other network sharing devices caution at the use of high bandwidth USB devices like webcams and hard drives due to unexpected behavior at slower network speeds. Obviously, there's no such limitation for this new entrant from Silex. The SX-3000GB can optionally be connected to a USB hub for an additional 13 devices to a total 15. The device should retail for $99 once it hits shelves in the near future.
