Iomega StorCenter Network Hard Drive
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 04:00 AM
"The 250GB appliance on review is encased in a sturdy plastic chassis that looks and feels well built although it can’t match the sleek, brushed aluminium case of Maxtor’s Shared Storage Drive. However, it’s much smaller and despite tipping the scales at 1.2kgs is eminently more portable should you need to move around different locations. The smaller case means cooling is a concern but Iomega has fitted a small internal fan in the side panel. This only powers up when required but can be a little intrusive whilst running. Network support is tops as the appliance comes with a triple speed auto-sensing port allowing it to support Gigabit Ethernet for maximum file sharing performance. You also get a pair of USB ports for adding external storage devices for network sharing and they also support USB printers as well."
Other than a speed advantage, the reviewer finds that this device just does not stack up against the competition.
