"Affordable SOHO RAID but Noisy and Unresponsive" on by ngmcnet
Pros: Good price, hard to find NAS and RAID for a SOHO application at an affordable price. Iomega has good concept in terms of features and setup. I actually like the fact they didn't make it wireless, as that tends to give people a false sense of ease.
Cons: Poor implementation, can't power USB hard drives directly, keeps grinding away and won't shut up even after canceling a file transfer to the device, loud as a popcorn maker, some software / firmware redundancies to what is built into Mac OS X.
Summary: I really liked the feature set, but given the noise and performance issues I'll be sending this NAS device back. The grinding sound when the unit wasn't supposed to be doing anything was driving me crazy, I had to unplug it stop it.
