"Poorly conceived "lite" NAS"
Pros: None that outweigh problems
Cons: Deliberately crippled beyond usability
Summary: Presumably in an effort not to undercut higher models, certain essential features are disabled or unusable:
IP settings -- you can enter a subnet mask, but anything other than factory default is refused.
NFS implementation: replaces file user/group with generic ids -- so useless for multiusers, or backup of multiuser data.
Speed: Maxes out at about 6 to 8 Mbytes/sec (SMB to Windows, or linux NFS; wired by gig ethernet), ie: at <12% of full Gigabit ethernet bandwidth.
Web admin interface is OK, but reformat function fails to show status -- claims unit is online when it's not, that kind of sloppy stuff.
In short -- misleading or false specs on the carton about network and linux/NFS capability, very poor performance. Use google-advanced to search iomegasupportforums dot com for details. I took this product back to the store, and made sure it got marked "return to vendor".
