 Storage Unit August 9, 2008
Nancy C. Stultz (Millerstown, PA United States)
I am very happy with the Iomega storage unit. It was easy to install and of course easy to use. Nothing like Iomega for a good storage solution.
 Great Hard Drive Bad Case August 3, 2008
Ryan W. Cashier (Topeka, KS USA)
Had this Hard Drive for 7 months before the case took a dump on me. I was sitting at the computer when all of the sudden the light dims and trips the breaker. The case's board was black but I put the drive into my PC and it runs like a champ. Steer clear of this product. The hard drive is awesome but the case is cheaply made and will not endure the test of time.
Constantly crashes in NAS mode July 18, 2008
Adam Compeau (New York)
I've had this product for about six months, and the drive regularly crashes on me in NAS mode, forcing me to physically reboot the hdd. Even then, sometimes I still won't be able to connect, and have to reboot again and again. Lately it has gotten so bad that I've decided to buy a new NAS and just hook this one up via USB.
Maybe you'll have better luck, but for me this drive was a disappointment.
 Good but not easy. July 11, 2008
J. C. Jordan (San Francisco, CA USA)
The product does what it says- good, fast storage on my home network, but it's not as easy to set up as one would like. I have a Windows desktop and a couple of laptops with Linux on them. It's not easy to get Ubuntu (the Linux distribution I use) to "see" the drive on the network. Iomega (and other manufactures) should pay more attention to Linux operating system.
Shared storage June 11, 2008
Dr. Phoenix Eye (Miami, Fl)
I purchased this to use via my home network to share my iTunes and other large files with my girlfriend's computer. It works great as described but, you have to use the software to re-mount the drive each time you re-boot. Re-mounting the drive is simple and only takes a few seconds once the mounting software is running. Overall I would recommend this product for networked data storage and access.
