Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive 500GB

,----[ Quote ]
| A network drive serves two main purposes. 
| One, it is a place to store your files â 
| plain and simple. When you are maxed out on 
| space on your PC, a network drive affords the 
| extensive storage required for advanced 
| computing work, media files and backups. The 
| second main purpose: enhancing your digital 
| life. More than just a network drive, the 
| Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive â which 
| is about the size of a male hand and styled 
| with an unassuming black enclosure â provides 
| a wealth of powerful and unusual digital 
| media features, many of which work quite well 
| with Linux computers.

Iomega: EMC's entry to be at the center of your home

,----[ Quote ]
| Schwartzâs plan: Make Iomegaâs storage softwareâa derivative of what is used
| in EMCâs enterprise systemsâconsumer friendly so that it takes four clicks to
| set up. Behind the scenes Iomega would include EMC technology from RSA and
| other units. Schwartz said EMC retooled Iomegaâs software from scratch on the
| Linux kernel. The benchmark: âWhoever your partner is in life should be able
| to use this software in 5 minutes,â said Schwartz.
