Iomega's New Unix (Optional) NAS Appliance

Their previous NAS offering was Windows-only; it is nice to see both OS options available, although they do not yet have pricing up for the Windows version."

    The "click of death" was very bad for Iomega. About six years ago I had a Jaz drive with six disks. As soon as the first became unusable, the Jaz took all the other ones with it, which became probably my worst data loss. If anyone of my coworkers asked me if I would recommend a Iomega NAS device, that is, any Iomega device, what would you really expect me to say, regardless of whether it might be the greatest device ever?

    If the click of death happens in a data center and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?

    Yes indeed, there are absolutely no NAS solutions out there that don't lock you into a Microsoft-centric solution.

    How'd this get +4?
