    Second good review on this unit I've seen... Is there any chance you can test out transfer speeds on it? I was actually pretty interested in this when I saw it on Ars awhile back, but didn't know anyone else with the unit.

    I'm getting sick of having a monster full tower in the basement churning away sucking up all my hard earned cash in electricity. #iomegaix2200review

    At this size and price, this could be the next SLUG (Linksys NSLU2 (Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives))

    Lets get them to release the Source Code. Its probably Linux based anyway. #iomegaix2200review

    It can take *hours* for the app to locate the NAS on your network at set up?

    That seems... impossibly slow. #iomegaix2200review

    @Trevor Mitchell: From what I understand, RAID 5 on two drives isn't possible. You can do it with 3, but it's reccomended to do RAID 5 with 4 drives or more. #iomegaix2200review

    @Leonce: That's more of a recommendation based on redundant failure capability, I'd say. Then again, if you're that concerned with having robust parity, you could just as easily do RAID 5 on 3 with backup to tape. #iomegaix2200review

    @fluidexistence: You are, as always, balancing efficiency against catastrophic failure. Your RAID 5 efficiency is (N-1)/N, where N is the number of drives, and increases as N grows large. However, your risk of catastrophic failure is the possibility of two drives going bad at the same time, which also increases as you put more drives in the array. #iomegaix2200review

    Personally, if I'm going to buy a dual-drive RAID system, I'd rather just get something with active cooling and is easier to swap bad drives out of, similar to this little doodad.

    "At least your data will be backed up, with both RAID 0 and RAID 1 as an option."


    When will people get that RAID 0 is not for backup. In fact, it's the opposite!

    How fast does a NAS need to be when it's serving music and video? And how fast does the network have to be to be too slow for the latest 2.5" platters? Seems to me like power saving is a good benefit, and the speed loss would never be a factor.

    Well, then. This device is most definitely not for me. (Not that "smallest" anything would likely have been on my wishlist...)
