iomega media NAS - FU - Mini 9 - 11-21-2010 got my $60 1TB NAS from the woot deal. http://forums.macresource.com/read.php?1,1039237,1039237#msg-1039237 While the woot page says 90 day warranty ... http://sellout.woot.com/blog/viewentry.aspx?id=15023 once registered with iomega, it shows they give it a 3 year warranty. (woohoo) ![]() Now, just plugged it into power, and ethernet, and the Mac finder, left pane shows the drive ready to go. ![]() And Time Machine prefs see it as a valid Time Machine backup drive. ![]() The interface for managing folders is easy enough. Buttons toggle iTunes sharing and DLNA sharing. ![]() It can be set up to share photos, manage torrents, and act as ftp server. ![]() Overall for $60 a gigabit NAS with all those features is great. I bought this as a test before buying their dual-drive NAS. The dual-drive NAS also allows IP Cameras to be recorded as a DVR. I have an IP Camera I want to record and that would be great. Re: iomega media NAS - FU - mattkime - 11-21-2010 looks great - what kind of speed does it get? Re: iomega media NAS - FU - Mini 9 - 11-21-2010 Not sure how I'd measure it. Seems faster than my Buffalo Linkstation. It does NOT require a 'reboot' for major configuration changes. Re: iomega media NAS - FU - clay - 11-22-2010 open up activity monitor, copy a large file to the NAS and watch under the "network" tab in activity monitor for speed of transfer. Re: iomega media NAS - FU - Mini 9 - 11-22-2010 If I read it correctly, 10 MB/sec Re: iomega media NAS - FU - wowzer - 11-22-2010 10mb/sec is faster than my D-link 321...I only got 8mb/sec on 100baseT. Re: iomega media NAS - FU - Mini 9 - 11-22-2010 I guess that's not too bad, then. Re: iomega media NAS - FU - Black - 11-22-2010 Good purchase, thanks for the writeup. Re: iomega media NAS - FU - sekker - 11-22-2010 Did you have any trouble with the setup? Re: iomega media NAS - FU - Mini 9 - 11-22-2010 Setup? I just plugged it in to power and ethernet and pretty much what you see you get. It defaults to no password/lock, and everyone can see/access the shared folders. Since it's designed for media, I guess they think that's fine. I know some people would want it to be more secure out of the box. Works for me at this point. |
