Iomega’s new terabyte network drive is small, cheap, and looks like it gets the job done

iomega.jpgI lag behind my colleagues in the home-storage ‘n’ networking stakes. Joel has some stout NAS box that’s probably larger than my Shuttle PC, and John’s got a home theater PC, Airport expresses, the lot. He can probably flush the crapper with his iPhone.

Me, I have a 4-year old USB drive plugged into an old router. Network throughput: about 1MB a second. Yeah, so I’m not exactly the Torrent Monster. But all that could change, as Iomega’s simple 1TB network hard drive is $300, has gigabit ethernet, and built-in uPnP and iTunes server support. And with the 2TB version being only $480, it’s not bad on price, either.

Tempted.
