4.0 out of 5 stars
Big, inexpensive, loud, August 21, 2008
This review is from: Iomega 33869 Gigabit Ethernet 1HD X 750GB StorCenter Network Storage (Personal Computers)
Title sums it up; it's fairly quick for a network drive, easy to set up, a nice addition to a home computing environment with multiple systems or even a business needing to share docs. The downside is that the fan is VERY loud for a home environment...unnecessarily so. Note - this was written when it was on sale for $175.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Decent network drive which is cheap, October 12, 2009
This review is from: Iomega 33869 Gigabit Ethernet 1HD X 750GB StorCenter Network Storage (Personal Computers)
I have been using this hard-drive for over 6 months now and overall it has worked fine. It solves the need for network drive.
Pros
1) Network drive with some cool features like user management (separate accounts, permissions, etc.)
2) USB printer port - sometimes sketchy but works
3) Cheap
Cons
1) Noise - it has multiple fans that can get very loud. Sometimes you can even hear hard drive cranking through.. scary..
2) Heat - scares me sometimes that it will fail anytime. I shut it down every once in a while to cool it off.
3) Missing feature for it to auto-sleep.
It is a decent one if you can keep it somewhere in open where you don't need to worry about the noise and it can stay cool

Does a good job, December 21, 2008
This review is from: Iomega 33869 Gigabit Ethernet 1HD X 750GB StorCenter Network Storage (Personal Computers)
It works a lot better than the WD 1TB MYBOOKWORLD, which I bought from Costco.
It never drops out from the network, and it is easy to set up.
