Problematic network connection.......2007-08-12
This drive doesn't live up to its claims, nor is it an effective network drive. When I first hooked it up, it was fine: the setup was quick, the interface seemed user friendly, and I was able to create users and log in from my other computers on the network.
The problems started when transferring files. First, transferring any file that was larger than 100mb would somehow disconnect the drive and render it unavailable over the network. I would have to manually shut it down and power it up since the web interface was no longer reachable. Second, as I was using it as a backup drive, I copied over a bunch of files, and while it was copying them, the drive crashed and lost all my files. I'm glad I didn't rely on this crappy machine as the only back-up device.
Now, it seems that the network connection (probably the network card) is gone and I can't use the drive anymore. The blue light assures me that it is functioning correctly, but when searching for it, either with the DriveDiscovery software, or just trying to navigate to it using the network browser, it's not there.
I bought this last year in October, so this stupid thing didn't even last a year. And there is absolutely no help from Iomega's website.
If you're thinking of getting a NAS, please don't get this one, and definitely don't use it as a back-up device.
Not a good backup solution.......2007-07-06
I bought this product to provide an unattended backup solution for multiple workgroup PCs. Unfortunately I could never get this to work even with multiple calls to Iomega technical support. The documentation doesn't tell you that the user accounts you create on the drive must be the same as those on the Windows client and the drive letters mapped to individual shared directories can't be maintained during a reboot whether mapped through the Iomega Discovery Tool or the Windows interface. The Retrospect Backup software included seems like a pretty good product, but unattended backups consitently fail because of drive mapping and authentication problems. I requested that Iomega refund my purchase price but they declined...first because I didn't buy it from their web site...then later because they said there was nothing wrong with the drive even though they admitted that the advertised and documented functions did not work correctly. I spent 8 hours troubleshooting this product at a customer site and with Iomega support and could never get this product to work correctly...DONT BUY THIS DRIVE FOR BACKUP SOLUTION IF YOU WANT TO HAVE INDIVIDUAL USER ACCOUNT/DIRECTORIES AND UNATTENDED BACKUP!
Great BackUp Drive.......2007-05-22
Easy To install/configure,worked right out of the box.
Easy to use GUI interface(configure users,shares)
Great as a backup device, Drive is a little slow to be a primary storage device.
If you want speed, an external USB drive would be the way to go.
Fan is a little noisey, but only after large data transfers.
Slow writing speed.......2006-12-11
I have to agree with the reviewers that state that this thing has a slow writing speed. I am experiencing this as well with my unit. I suspect there is some lag time going from Firewire to USB, though the box on the Iomega clearly states that the drive operates at 7200 rpm- same as my firewire drive.... Also once you open the file window to the hard drive it takes five seconds or so for the files to actually appear. At first I was worried that they didn't copy over, but they did. Just delayed repsonse time.... I am using a 2006 PowerMac w/ 2.0 USB.
I just purchased this past weekend so I unable to share any other issues with you at this time.
Network Drive Touts Backup.......2006-07-12
Network storage is undeniably convenient for backing up documents and storing media files. Iomega's StorCenter Network Hard Drive is very similar to others in its category, distinguished mainly by its physical design and distinctive software bundle.
I tested a shipping version of the 250GB StorCenter and found much to like. Unlike most network hard drives I've seen, which lack a switch and are always on, the sleek black unit has a power switch on the back. Like competing drives, such as the pricier Maxtor 500GB Shared Storage Plus ($500), the Iomega has two USB 2.0 expansion ports (for attaching other storage devices or a printer), is Universal Plug and Play-compliant (for use with a UPnP media server), and has gigabit ethernet.
Installation was simple; I attached the drive to the network and ran the installation utility, and my system's OS automatically assigned the StorCenter a drive letter. Iomega's installer has a friendly, unimposing design, as does its Discovery Tools software, which can be run at any time to find the drive's IP address, rename the drive, or change the drive mapping.
The remainder of the software bundle consists of the full version of Iomega's capable Automatic Backup Pro 3.3 software (a $70 value by itself) and Microsoft's FolderShare, for secure data sharing via the Internet. The included free (limited) FolderShare program would have set this drive apart, but regrettably the service was scheduled for discontinuation in early 2006.
The Automatic Backup Pro software and power switch make this drive an attractive option. But the drive's 250GB capacity feels limited, given that a number of networked drives come in capacities up to twice that (and priced accordingly, of course).

Product Description
Tripp Lite's 50-foot SVGA/VGA EZ-Pull monitor extension cable makes running long length video cables a snap. The Pull-Apart design allows the cable to be run through conduit or other tight areas that a HD15 connector wouldn't fit through. Diameter of the circular din end is only 7/8". Circular EZ-Pull connector is threaded to ensure maximum security once the cable is re-attached. The mini-coax (RGB) and paired video wire construction delivers superior signal quality. Double shielding (foil and braid) provides maximum EMI/RFI protection. Both the high-density DB15 male and high-density DB15 female connectors are molded and have integral strain relief to ensure they last a long time.
