Iomega StorCenter Wireless Network Storage 1TB
The Iomega’s StorCenter Wireless Network Storage 1TB is a 1-terabyte network-attached drive array that will have you sharing everything from printers to high-definition video pronto. The StorCenter includes a Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 2.0 ports, and two screw-on antennas for wireless setup. A fan keeps things cool, though it particularly noisy.
Although some problems with Iomega’s Discovery Tool come with the CD, the software is supposed to scan and identify the StorCenter drives on your network. It also lets you arrange the StorCenter’s four 7,200rpm drives in a RAID 0 (striping), RAID 5 (striping with parity), or RAID 0+1 (mirroring and striping) array. Note that the drives are not user-replaceable.
