If you like your data local, but crave remote access, you’ve now got options like Synology’s new DiskStation DS413j — a network-attached storage (NAS) server for your own private cloud. The feature-packed box has four drive bays for a total of 16TB storage, and you can mix and match HDDs of different sizes without losing the comfort of RAID. Along with what you’d expect from NAS, its media server will stream content to your console or TV via DLNA or UPnP and push tunes to your stereo, with iOS and Android apps for couch DJing. The server will sync your files across computers if you wish, and give you access to all that data on the move via the internet or mobile apps. And, if you need more files, you can download directly using your favorite protocols — it’ll even automate them if you trust RSS feeds to make recommendations. All this can be yours for around $380, depending on the retailer, but don’t forget to budget for drives to fill those empty bays.

Samsung’s AllShare Cast Dongle has finally gone up for sale, a compact box that hooks up to your TV and streams video wirelessly from your Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note 10.1 or other gadgets. The £80 ($127) adapter comes with all the cables you need – HDMI for your TV, and a microUSB AC adapter for power – and is in stock with UK retailer Clove.

Samsung announced the AllShare Cast Dongle back at the Galaxy S III launch in May, a straightforward way to get photos, video and music off your phone or tablet and onto your big-screen TV. Although we’ve seen DLNA support on other devices, Samsung’s reskinned version aims to make the wireless streaming more simple, while the Dongle itself means older TVs can be upgraded rather than forcing the user to buy a new Smart TV.

Up to Full HD 1920 x 1080 video is supported, though there’s no ethernet option for those with wired networks, only WiFi a/b/g/n. Still, that should make it easier to hide the Dongle behind your display,

Samsung isn’t just keeping AllShare Cast to existing products, either; it’s a part of TouchWiz now, and so was included on the freshly-announced Galaxy Note II from last week and, potentially even more useful, the Galaxy Camera as well. There’s more on Samsung AllShare in our hands-on demo with the Galaxy Note 10.1 and Galaxy S III.
