Iomega Ix2-200 NAS Review (It Does All This?)

11:00PM Jason Chen | Iomega’s Ix2-200 NAS shows that you don’t need to run Microsoft’s Windows Home Server to take care of everything a home, or even a small business, needs for its network storage. It’s just surprising that it’s this cheap. More »

Together with the $US270 price point, that’s appealing all-around. More »

Iomega eGo Triple-Interface 500GB Drive Drops a Gig In 15 Seconds Flat

8:00PM Wilson Rothman | Sure it’s shiny, ruby red and super lightweight, holds 500GB and connects—with power—via USB 2.0, FireWire 400 or FireWire 800. But the best thing about the newest Iomega eGo is that it can move files faster than (almost) anything I’ve seen. More »

Iomega eGo Hard Drives Are Pretty Enough, Cheap Enough

12:20AM John Herrman | I don’t ask much of portable hard drives: they should be affordable, easy on the eyes, and better not require an external power source. So I kinda like Iomega’s pretty, cheap(ish), USB-powered eGo drives. More »

11:40PM John Mahoney | Iomega’s Home Media Network Hard Drive comes in 500GB and 1TB packages for $US160/$US230 respectively–a good look, especially when considering the drive’s AFP/SMB support, UPnP/iTunes servers and Gigabit Ethernet.

StorCenter ix2: Iomega’s Surprisingly Cheap EMC Home Server

2:01PM Wilson Rothman | EMC bought Iomega so that it could start easing its business-grade storage gear into homes and small offices, and the StorCenter ix2 is the first official combo of Iomega brand and EMC juice. Before I get into its LifeLine Linux environment, I wanted to point out that this thing is priced to move: A full two-disk 1TB NAS costs $US300—and you can double it to 2TB for $US480. I know HDD prices are dropping but that’s a pretty good deal to me. Here’s what you get with the storage: galleryPost('iomegaix2', 3, '');

Beloved Useless Zip Drives Are Made Lovable Again… In Marionette Form!

12:30PM Wilson Rothman | Who doesn’t love a Zip drive? With their sweet 100MB of magnetic memory, they used to save my arse back in the day. (My Performa 6400 even had an internal Zip drive.) And who doesn’t love a marionette? With their beady eyes and history of horror-film animation, they touch the heart of any child from 1 to 100, sometimes with a knife. Put the two together, and what do you get? More »

Iomega’s Stylish eGo Drives Hit 1TB, Get Bigger Outside, Too

10:30PM Wilson Rothman | Sure we’d all love to see the little bus-powered 2.5″ Iomega eGo drives hit 1TB, but that’s not happening today. Instead, Iomega is porting their sleek, shiny, colourful design to the 3.5″ realm, launching 1-terabyte Super eGo (get it?) drives in blue, red and black. For the time being, they’re only USB 2.0—no FireWire or eSATA options—you still need a power supply, and we’re gonna guess that they’re spinning at 5400rpm. The good news is that they’ll cost just US$270, not bad for a hefty TB.

Iomega Introduces Leather 250GB Hip Flask, Er, eGo Drive

10:45PM Wilson Rothman | The people who brought you the camouflage eGo portable USB hard drive have traded the hunting rifle for the meerschaum pipe: the leather-clad 250GB eGo, which goes on sale today for just over US$140, will look good in any study, but best in ones where there’s a roaring fire and many leather-bound books. Iomega takes pains to note that this is the only leather portable drive on the market. Our guess is that, as stylish as it is, it may remain so for a while. (Second photo after the jump.)
