Iomega StorCenter Network Hard Drive

Without adding the cost and complexity of a server, you can now share and store your critical files, photos, music and video from any standard or wireless computer on the network . Offering BOTH RAID 1 for data protection and RAID 0 for performance built-in, two USB host ports for added expansion and print server capability, this network hard drive is perfect for home or small office network storage. And with its multi-platform support, you can access your data from all the computers on the network.

The StorCenter Network Hard Drives are the latest version of Iomega’s home-targeted network-attached storage drives . They come in three capacities: 500GB, 750GB, and 1TB. The 500GB and 750GB versions are single-drive models; while the 1TB version packs in two 500GB drives (the casing is a bit different on both versions). The 1TB version costs $390, the 750GB version costs $360, and the 500GB version costs $270–all very reasonably priced.
