Pretty seamless home network drive

I've been using the 1TB media drive for about a month and a half now and have had a very positive experience. I set it up on an XP machine and had little problem connecting to it from my Vista laptop and XP netbook without installing any software. The only feature I haven't used is the USB print server (my printer is located in my office and the hard drive is connected in the living room next to the router and haven't wanted to move either one so they could be physically connected).

My PS3 automatically found the device on the network, and I use the PS3 to watch TV shows stored on the hard drive on my HDTV. This works great. I can't edit files using the PS3, but I can play AVI and MP3 files (I sometimes play music through my stereo system this way as well as TV shows). Formats like .mkv files won't play this way, but that's a function of the PS3 rather than a limitation of the hard drive.

I'm not using the backup software that comes with it; I manually load files... Read more

Easy set-up but a bit noisy

I was shopping for a storage device to back up all of my data from my 3 computers (1 running mac os x, 1 running windows 7, 1 running xp) and my wife's laptop (vista) so some type of device sharable between multiple devices was a necessity. Initially I was thinking about buying a larger drive and putting it in my home server but came across the iomega device on sale when walking through a local store. They were on sale so I snapped it up... I bought a gigabit switch as well and did a couple of tests from my two PCs - one with gigabit and one with 100Mbps. The transfer of a 700MB avi file tool took ~ 68 seconds with the one with the fast ethernet (100Mbps) interface. My other pc with the gigabit interface was able to transfer the file in about 35 seconds.

I don't like installing 3rd party apps to manage backing up so I'm manually copying things over that I want to back up versus using iomega's included software.

The device is DLNA compliant and will stream to... Read more

Bricked mine with a power outage

I'm getting another one b/c they are so inexpensive, plus I plan to reuse the 1TB HDD in the old one. But here's what happened: One day it was working, next day it wasn't being located by the network. Hmmm. Weird. I power it down, then power it back up. Lights on the case flash, then turn off once the NAS gets up to speed, about 20 seconds I think. The drive is still moving, but the same thing happens each time. I look in the lengthy Iomega forums and see other people have posted this problem. One response from the Iomega person asks if there were any 'brown outs'.
Oh, yeah! I put two and two together, the power outage I had at home corresponded to the NAS failure!
SO... if you buy this thing, be sure to give it a UPS.

I had it networked with my ReplayTV boxes and was able to watch archived TV from it at real time, albeit 480 resolution.
