Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive
$160.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:NAS - share files on a network without a PC host required to be online. Attractive brushed alluminum enclosure. Includes proprietary LifeLine software that allows users to automatically backup files or stream music/photos/videos between multiple network hosts (including computers, TVs, gaming consoles etc...).
The Cons:Single drive only - no way to ensure data without the use of another computer/drive. Limited capacity compared to seagate 1.5TB option / dual drives. Poor naming conventions! Vague and generic sounding.
