1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, December 5, 2007
By 
E. Epstein (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Iomega 33349 Gigabit Ethernet 1TB 4HD X 250GB StorCenter Wireless Network Storage (Personal Computers)
This unit is incredibly enticing. Most units, although 1TB, only allow 0,1 RAID which means that in RAID 1 (mirror mode) you can only get 500 Gigs.

This Iomega unit allows you get 750 Gigs in RAID 5 since it has 4 drives. More cost effective storage space.

It also features:

* Linux based OS
* Flexible user and group based security,
* Above average performance with respect to RAID, responsiveness, and transfer speeds.
* Gigabit ethernet as well as 802.11G wireless
* 2 USB ports to attach additional storage
* 4 drive bays to upgrade and replace drives
* RAID 5 !!. This is a prominent feature that sets it in a unique category among entry level NAS.
* A very well built enclosure. All metal, fairly thick at that, as well as very sturdy enclosure for the HD's that uses screws. Nothing plastic of flimsy here.

All very very good features for a NAS. The price is slightly higher than competitive products, but the added features are well worth it.

Wait a second? Isn't the product being rated as 1 Star? I sound like a i am in love for the first time......

The biggest drawback? It's a deal killer.

* BAD AND HORRIBLY DEFECTIVE SOFTWARE ****

The software running the unit itself is flawed. Your data may be intact on the drives itself, but the administration software running on the unit can, and quite often, does fail.

When it fails, you have very little options. There are some limited recovery options on the unit and Iomega tech support has limited solutions as well. If these do not solve the problem, you can send the unit back to Iomega, BUT LOSE ALL YOUR DATA.

They do offer in-house data retrieval services, but quotes have run from $2500 to $6800 dollars depending on the amount of data to be retrieved.

Opening the enclosure itself voids the warranty accordingly, and there is a little a layperson could do on their own.

The internal drives are IDE. This means that taking the drives out and hooking them up to a independent system requires a separate 4-Channel IDE RAID card that supports RAID 0,1,5 + JBOD.

The costs of fixing it yourself can become prohibitive.

The whole point of this product is:

1) Network Attached Storage. Multiple computers accessing the data at the same time.

2) Backup. This requires reliability and redundancy (RAID)

This product, although very well spec'd, cannot live up to it's purpose and will be a liability to anybody using it.

Avoid this product at all costs.

4.0 out of 5 stars POS, October 25, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Iomega 33349 Gigabit Ethernet 1TB 4HD X 250GB StorCenter Wireless Network Storage (Personal Computers)
It took some time to get the StorCenter installed and working, including a return to the factory. There was probably no problem with the returned unit but the provided software has some bugs that prevented me from mapping the drive into my systems.
The support staff worked through the problem with me and once I found the correct incantation, the unit has worked fast and flawlessly

Update: The unit stopped working after the warrantee expired. IOMEGA told me I was SOL, no repairs available. $550 brick. Thanks very little.

There are a couple of morals: avoid IOMEGA and buy a RAID 5 unit that gives you access to the drives and indication of health status. The IOMEGA boxen do neither.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY!!!!!, January 30, 2008
This review is from: Iomega 33349 Gigabit Ethernet 1TB 4HD X 250GB StorCenter Wireless Network Storage (Personal Computers)
There is a reason this thing is SO cheap! Do not buy it! Ours failed after eight months. We had it set up as a RAID5 which we thought would be safe. Big mistake! iomega said they would replace the drive BUT WE HAD TO PAY FOR DATA RETRIEVAL!!!! Horrible service, horrible warranty! Do NOT trust your data on this machine. Check the iomega forums (which are heavily moderated for negative comments by the way, which they will admittedly remove) and you will see the problems people are having with this item.
