I have this product and would NOT waste my money! Many problems with drivers, recognizing network, and mapping issues, PLUS data loss! If it works, it works great -BUT- Big problem with getting help from Iomega support. Iomega NAS solutions have hundreds of unresolved problems posted on their own forums- with NO answers. Check for yourself (iomegasupportforums). Mine is now a BRICK!
Pretty good for the money but could be better

I like this drive because it was affordable, had time machine support for osx, and came with a big 1tb drive inside. It also claims to manage torrents and the application is certainly on the drive but sadly enough it simply doesn't work at all. Downloads never start and if they do they don't finish. The remote web interface works but its very slow and if more than one computer connects to it at a time it grinds to a halt. In fact if there's ever more than one computer using the drive on the network things go verrry slow.
Turns out if you want speed and features, this isnt the solution for you but it is a great hard drive that stores things and works well as long as you don't tax it too much.
I am happy with it and next time will look at beefier units to do what I want to do with it. The fit and finish is bar none, top notch.
Could not write large files without error

Attempted to use this drive for backup with Norton Ghost only to discover delayed write error. Returned the next day.
Well, it works

Not jumping through hoops. The software eventually worked, but was quirky and took a couple tries to get it to recognize the drive, etc. The thing is loud, too. I would have expected this kind of noise in a product from 15 years ago, but nowadays there are very quiet fans available. Iomega apparently doesn't know about them. The tiny little fan in this thing makes more noise than my PC's case fan.
At the end of the day, though, the drive and the software work beautifully, and keep as many historical backup copies of my documents as I want it do, and it does it in real time.
A Welcomed Addition...

Drive installed on my LAN via my XP Pro Computer with no problems, software worked well, but not superbly. Had problems when I first tried to install through my VISTA machine. Now that it is on the LAN, all connected computers are able to access it. It is USB connected to a WD TV Media Player which feeds the Media Center that is now connected to my LAN. Great Drive, fast and reliable. A very good product!
What is RAID?
RAID is an acronym first defined back in 1987 to describe a redundant array of
inexpensive disks, a technology that allowed computer users to achieve high
levels of storage reliability from low-cost PC hard disk drives, via the
technique of arranging the devices into an array for fail-safe redundancy.
"RAID" is now used as an umbrella term for computer data storage schemes that
can divide and replicate data among multiple hard disk drives. The different
schemes/architectures are named by the word RAID followed by a number, as in
RAID 0, RAID 1, etc. RAID's various designs involve two key elements: increased
data reliability or increased input/output performance. When multiple physical
disks are set up to use RAID technology, they are said to be in a RAID array.
This array distributes data across multiple disks, but the array is seen by the
computer user and operating system as one single disk. RAID can be set up to
serve several different purposes.
Organizing disks into a redundant array decreases the total usable storage
capacity. For instance, a 2-disk RAID 1 array loses half of the total capacity
that would have otherwise been available using both disks independently, and a
RAID 5 array with several disks loses the capacity of one whole disk. Other
types of RAID arrays are arranged so that they are faster to write to and read
from than a single disk.
There are various combinations of these
configurations giving different trade-offs and benefits of protection against
data loss, capacity, and speed. RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 are the most commonly
found, and cover most of the typical requirements.
RAID 0 (striped disks) distributes data
across several disks in a way that gives improved speed at any given instant. If
one disk fails, however, all of the data on the array will be lost, as there is
neither parity nor mirroring.
RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the
disks, making a 1:1 (1 to 1) ratio real-time backup. The contents of each disk
in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array.
RAID 3 uses a striped set with
dedicated parity or bit interleaved parity or byte level parity. This
mechanism provides fault tolerance similar to RAID 5. However, because the strip
across the disks is a lot smaller than a file system block, reads and writes to
the array perform like a single drive with a high linear write performance. If
one drive fails, the performance doesn't change.
RAID 5 (striped disks with parity)
combines three or more disks in a way that protects against data loss of any one
disk. The storage capacity of the array is reduced by the capacity of the one
disk (all disks are of equal size).
RAID 6 (striped disks with dual parity)
can recover from the loss of two disks.
RAID 10 (or 1+0) uses both striping and
mirroring. ("01" or "0+1" is sometimes distinguished from "10" or "1+0": a
striped set of mirrored subsets and a mirrored set of striped subsets are both
valid, but distinct, configurations.)
