Powered by a 400 MHz processor and with gigabit Ethernet, the device allows for fast copying and reading of files, and ensures that you'll be able to effortlessly stream music and videos across your network. p bSmart Design and Easy Setup/bbr The StorCenter ix2 offers an impressive list of high-performance features in an ultra-compact design that is smaller than a large dictionary. Unlike many shared storage devices that require extensive set-up procedures, the ix2 will be ready to go with as few as four mouse clicks. Iomega designed the StorCenter so that even the most non-technical user could easily enjoy its high-performance features. p table align=right width=150 cellpadding=20 tr td align="center" img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B001ILDOVW-6-sm.jpg" border=0 /td /tr /table bExtra-Strength Protection Keeps Your Data Safe /bbr The Storcenter ix2 uses multiple levels of protection to safeguard your data. The device includes EMC's award-winning Retrospect Express backup software, letting you easily schedule automated backups of your local hard drive onto the Storcenter. You don't have to worry about hackers either, thanks to the proven encryption technology from RSA, the security division of EMC. p The Storcenter ix2 lets you take advantage of its full terabyte of storage space in JBOD mode, but it also gives you the option of RAID 1 (mirroring), which means all of the data saved to one disk is automatically saved onto the other disk as well, providing you with superb security in the case of unexpected drive failure. RAID 1 mirroring mode reduces capacity by half, but your data is twice as safe with this redundant feature. p bMedia Server Capability for Streaming Video and Audio /bbr With built-in support for UPnP and DLNA devices, the StorCenter ix2 can store and play back multimedia files on all compatible devices such as game consoles, media center devices, networked televisions, digital picture frames, and more. An integrated iTunes/MP3 server means everyone on your network will have access to a complete music library. p bUSB Ports Allow Expandability /bbr With two USB ports, the StorCenter ix2 lets you connect other devices for increase storage use over the network. A built-in print server means you can connect up to two USB printers and share them with all the users of the network. An optional USB Bluetooth adapter (not included) lets you wirelessly transfer contacts, photos, and other information from your Bluetooth-enabled device to your network. In addition to those features, you can also connect an Axis security camera and record directly onto the StorCenter ix2. p The Iomega StorCenter ix2 measures 4.92 x 3.15 x 7.875 inches (HxWxL), weighs 4.85 pounds, and is backed by a one-year warranty. You can upgrade to the Iomega Silver Service Plan to increase support and coverage. p bWhat's in the Box /bbr Iomega StorCenter ix2 Network Hard Drive, Ethernet cable, power supply (support for worldwide distribution), printed Quick Install Guide, solution CD with system administration software, EMC Retrospect Backup Software and user manual. 2GB Free storage on MOZY, for online virtual off site back up. br clear="all" table align=center width=150 cellpadding=20 tr td align="center" img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B001ILDOVW-3-lg.jpg" border=0brbrspan class="caption"The StorCenter ix2 is an ideal network storage solution for homes and small businesses. /span /td /tr /table br clear="all"

Not a hands-off device for me ... January 7, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I like the unit's concept and have a second unit on order even now. I have three or four (depending on the day) computers connected to my home network, two hard-wired to an ethernet switch and two that connect through a wireless router. The router and the switch are hardwired to each other. The first StoreCenter is plugged into the switch as well and all four computers were able to access the NAS with no trouble. I also have the LinkSys LELA software running and it saw the NAS right away. br /br /My plan from the outset was to manually perform backups on an as-needed basis, which has worked out well for my operational needs. The bad news for me is that the automatic backup software that accompanied the NAS worked ONE time, and would not make any subsequent backups. Once my second unit gets here, I may investigate the backup software further as time allows. However, since my computer usage is not driving a business, daily backups are not a requirement for me.br /br /I would recommend the unit based on its small size, the fact that my LinkSys WRT54G and LELA software, and my NetGear ethernet switch had no connectivity issues, and that Windows XP has no trouble recognizing the NAS. If you need a plug-and-play automatic backup device I would recommend a bit of caution at this time.
A great network storage solution if you want a stand-alone drive. November 28, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
After everything is said and done, the Iomega StorCenter ix2 is an excellent network storage solution for consumers and small businesses. The amazingly simple software installation and setup combined with the amount of storage and reasonable transfer speeds make the Iomega StorCenter ix2 one of the best stand-alone network storage solutions I've tested.br /br /Like almost any networked attached storage enclosure, the Iomega StorCenter ix2 doesn't offer the same speed as an eSATA drive connected directly to your computer. Likewise, the ix2 suffers from some degree of security vulnerability unless the network is well secured. In other words, if you just plug this drive into your unsecured wireless router at home and don't use a password on the StorCenter ix2 itself then just about anyone in range of your router could have access to your files. Nevertheless, these minor issues are common to all NAS enclosures.br /br /Overall, the Iomega StorCenter ix2 offers a remarkably easy-to-use stand-alone network drive and gives you lower power consumption than a full desktop running as a networked drive. Road warriors and netbook owners who are either worried about the security of their laptop hard drive or have limited storage space on their netbook might want to consider the purchase of this NAS for their home networks.br /br /Pros:br /br / * Easiest setup software I've ever usedbr / * Fast transfer rates over 1Gb Ethernet, acceptable over 100Mb Ethernetbr / * USB connectivity for more storagebr / * Solid build qualitybr / * Reasonably compactbr /br /Cons:br /br / * Hard drives are a little noisybr / * Difficult to access drives inside enclosure if repair is neededbr /
