Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive Cloud Edition - NAS server price range: $185.00
- Reviewed by: Dong Ngo
- Reviewed on: 03/21/2011
The good: The Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive Cloud Edition is easy to use for home users and affordable. It offers good performance and a Personal Cloud feature that enables remote access.
The bad: The Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive Cloud Edition lacks advanced NAS features, storage capacity, and backup options. The server requires software installed on Mac client computers to work, and the Personal Cloud storage could use some improvements.
The bottom line: The Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive Cloud Edition makes a very good simple home NAS server. Advanced users who need more control over their storage and remote access might want to look elsewhere.

Not Mac friendly

Summary: TimeMachine on Mac Lion has a fit each time a backup is completed. In my case, an initial 210Gb backup takes around 4 days using a gigabit ethernet connection and can't be verified at the end of the process, forcing it to create a new backup again... and again. Backing our 160Gb Windows 7 notebook using Windows Backup & Restore would probably take a similar time, but unfortunately we have never got to the end of a backup, and Backup & Restore won't resume where it left off like Time Machine.
On the upside, streaming of video via the wireless network to Windows 7 and PS3 is fairly painless to setup and use, pausing only once or twice per movie. Attaching an external HDD via USB that contained our existing collection was accessed easily, but the USB attached drive can't be written to, so the extra space can't be utilised. -
Keeps locking up so defeats the point
by robottex on June 26, 2011
Pros: When it works, it works. Not too difficult to set up
Cons: Locks up, needs to be reset every day or two, or every time you get to use it. Instructions are not comprehensive. They miss some key points about usual set up. Having to install software is very annoying, why do manufacturers assume they are so important
Summary: Try elsewhere, I'm guessing another NAS works better than this one, because this is really buggy!

Looks good, very quite, easy to step up, no issues
by RedBav on March 1, 2012
Pros: Support gigabit network, I get about 30+ mb/sec writes to the NAS and faster reads
Well priced
Runs my USB Printer
Likes the extra USB portCons: avg performance (noticeable speed increase after firmware update)
Sometimes drive will stop working if many computers would read and write at the same time (again this is not a problem after the update)Summary: I have read the above comments and I'm sorry I cant relate to any of those issues. The device required no real setup at all. It just appears as ...
Summary: I have read the above comments and I'm sorry I cant relate to any of those issues. The device required no real setup at all. It just appears as another computer on my network. I just mapped the drives to each computer. I dont turn the NAS and its been running for 6 months with about ten restarts. The old firmware seems cause the unit to hang if two or more computers were accessing the same folder. This problem has not happened since the new firmware about 2 months about. I basically use it as a NAS device. I dont really play around with the torrent software or much of the advance features. I dont really have a need for it and i'm guessing most households wont either.

Its a perfect NAS with lots of great features
by welo007 on July 17, 2011
Pros: user interface
Gigabit speed
email notification
Torrent Download
Media serverCons: USB port speed is slow in transfering (but it is mostly common in all NAS)
Torrent Download should contain more functions and the speed notification should be in KB instead of B.
Anywhere access should be always for free and not the first year onlySummary: i am satisfied and it has great price Vs its features
