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!

Drive installed quickly on my VISTA system. Was not sure I wanted to load the software, which was nothing more than a collection of software packages (some not free). It's a good thing I didn't want to install it, as the disc would not read on my system. Instead, one can log into the drive via their web browser, and manage the drive. In addition to that, one can find true freeware programs for processes such as backups (I use SyncBack). Overall, I think the drive is a great value, has good speed, and certainly comes with a lot of space for music, backups, etc.
For me, it is the storage component for all of my music, from which my various UPnP devices connect (wired and wirelessly). For this operation, it works well.
I see now the drive is not currently available (Nov 2009). Perhaps it's simply out of stock, or maybe Iomega is coming out with a new drive. We'll see.
Good Product

Pretty straight forward, ran through setup, mapped the drive and now pushing data to it. So far so good.
Awesome

This hard drive downloads at amazing speeds, even if done through the internet. I give this product a thumbs up!
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.)
