Iomega Announces StorCenter Pro NAS 150d For SOHO Users
Iomega Corporation today announced the worldwide availability of the affordable new Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS 150d Server, a network storage solution for small businesses and advanced home users alike.
Two models of the new Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS 150d Server are included in today's announcement: a 1TB model based on four hot-swappable SATA II 250GB hard drives, and a 2TB model based on four hot-swappable SATA II 500GB hard drives.
Both StorCenter Pro NAS 150d Server models can be configured for RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring), or RAID 5 (striping plus parity) operation. RAID 0 provides maximum performance and operating capacity; RAID 5 provides maximum data security, protecting all data even in the event of a drive failure.
The device also features Gigabit Ethernet port, USB 2.0 interface, and supports Iomega's Discovery Tool software. Novelties offer print server functionality for up to four printers. For backup from client PCs, Iomega also includes a five-client license for EMC Retrospect Express.
The new Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS 150d Server is the first 1TB product at this price point to offer true hot swappable drives, meaning one of the four hard drives can be removed from the 150d while in operation and a replacement drive inserted, and the 150d will rebuild the new drive into the existing RAID 1 or 5 array without any interruption or downtime.
Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS 150d Servers support clients running Microsoft Windows Vista/2000/XP Home/XP Professional/XP Professional x64, Mac OS X 10.2.7 or higher, and Linux distributions, including Redhat 9, Madrake 10, Debian 3.0, Gentoo, and FedoraCore 3. Supported network file protocols include Microsoft, Linux/UNIX, Apple, Internet and FTP.
The StorCenter Pro NAS 150d 1TB Server is available worldwide for $799; the StorCenter Pro NAS 150d 2TB Server, for $1,499. (All prices are suggested US retail.)
