Endowed with four USB ports, plus Ethernet and 802.11b/g/n connectivity, setting up the iConnect is as simple as plugging in any USB-based storage device and letting the device do the rest. Iomega’s new product also allows you to set up a print server, OS X Time Machine backups, Bittorrent clients and DLNA streaming. And while it may not possess the open Linux platform or remote web-streaming abilities of the Pogoplug, it pretty much does everything else (plus Time Machine!) for $US30 less.
Expect to get your hands on Iomega’s OS-agnostic iConnect sometime in February. [PR Newswire]

Daniel here may only have a few external USB drives, but my collection is well over 4 and since the Acer EasyStore got discontinued here, cheap NAS storage is hard to come by.
