Last month at the Gadget Show Live I got to have a look at the myDitto Server from Dane-Elec.
Unfortunately it was connected to anything so there was no chance to see the interface, or how it was to use, but it certainly sounds like an interesting little device.
Here is what Dane-Elec said about the myDitto Server:
Dane-Elec also designed the myDitto Sever as a one-step, plug ‘n play home network server. Home users are able to easily drag and drop any digital file from either their wired or wireless devices within the home, to their myDitto Server. Everyone in the home can then access and share all of their data, including movies, music, pictures and critical files, from the centralized myDitto Server.
With up to four terabytes of memory, myDitto Server also turns into a customized media center, where consumers can stream multimedia directly from it to their TVs, media adapters, picture frames and gaming consoles.

We should be getting one soon, so expect a full review when it is available. Currently there is no information on when it will be released, or how much it will be.
