We really need to come up with a weekly (or monthly) “most converged device” award. The mad scientist at TViX have morphed their friendly hard drive enclosure, slash media player, into a convergence beast with their latest TViX HD M-5000U (via Engadget). But in this iteration, TViX decided to drop the internal hard drive enclosure in exchange for multiple data ports to access external storage and provide network connectivity. Could this be the ultimate media adapter to date?
