i now use this product between 5 computers, 3 windows xp and 2 linux machines on a hybrid wired/wireless network. from Amazon.com of the small office nas products i've installed, it has the easiest setup - the configuration menus aren't quite mac-like, but they're the closest of any nas i've used. from Amazon.com i use it for a network share for all my pc's (works with unix, linux, and macs), a printer server, a media server, and my backup server. from Bestbuy.com i run a network of 8 computers at home (mac, pcs, linux) and got this to replace an aging file server pc running linux, with usb disks connected. from Amazon.com the setup was flawless, and my pc's and macs all see the unit - where i have safely dumped all of my data (photos, scanned documents, tax records, itunes backup, etc). from Amazon.com After everything is said and done, the Iomega StorCenter ix2 is an excellent network storage solution for consumers and small businesses. The amazingly simple software installation and setup combined with the amount of storage and reasonable transfer speeds make the Iomega StorCenter ix2 one of the best stand-alone network storage solutions I've tested. from Amazon.com Amazon provided an accurate description of the item (although EVERYONE's photographs make one believe this item is much bigger than it actually is), had a significantly lower price, provided a new, sealed unit, and has good customer support means I have felt comfortable with. The item shipped immediately and was straightforward to set up and configure. I now use this product between 5 computers, 3 Windows XP and 2 Linux machines on a hybrid wired/wireless network. Each can store and share files, even with each other. from Amazon.com Defective out of the box. Called Iomega support 4 times....support was abysmal. The last thing they seemed to want to do was replace the defective item. from Amazon.com Even though it supports mirroring, be aware that Iomega's warranty policy is that if the drives fail, they will not replace the box if you ever open it. from Amazon.com I did not buy this exact model but I did purchase the iomega store center 1TB wireless network drive. The drive lasted less than a year, getting someone to actually take a call or answer an email or have a conversation was a tedious bataan deathmarch. from Amazon.com
