LAS VEGAS--Iomega here at CES today announced the new Iomega StorCenter ix2 Network Storage, which offers up to 6TB of storage space.

This is the upgrade to the previous version of the same server.

Iomega says the new server comes with many advanced business capabilities, including video surveillance capability and support for online storage services, including Mozy, Amazon S3, and EMC Atmos-enabled cloud backup services offered by service providers. On top of that the server itself can also work as a "personal cloud."… Read more

Your iMac is running out of peripheral ports, and you still want to add an external hard drive and a few other devices to it? Iomega has something for you.

The company introduced today its first external hard drive, called Iomega Mac Companion Hard Drive, that also comes with two USB ports that you can plug your iOS-based devices into to charge and sync with the Mac.

One of the unsung accessories at this year's CES might be the Iomega SuperHero, a device that lets you charge and back up your iPhone with an SD card. It looks like a simple docking station, but on the back is an SD card slot that you can use to back up your contacts and photos.

As the capacity is limited to 4GB, it's obviously not meant for your music or video collection, and it's not meant as a replacement for iTunes. The idea behind it is that some people don't hook up their phones to the computer that often, and the Iomega SuperHero is an easy way for them to still back up those all-important contacts and photos.

Simply dock the device, and the backup will be done automatically. It will work with the latest-generation iPod Touch, and it might also be useful if you're switching to another iPhone. … Read more

Together with cloud editions of the single-volume Home Media Network and dual-bay StorCenter ix2-200, Iomega announced today that it's going to add its new Personal Cloud feature to its flagship 4-bay NAS server, the ix4-200d Cloud Edition.

Unlike the first two that will be available later this month, the ix4-200d Cloud Edition won't ship until March.

The ix4-200d Cloud Edition is very similar to its dual-bay brother but differentiates itself by offering more storage (up to 12TB); more RAID configurations (RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5); and two Gigabit ports for more consistent performance during heavy loads.… Read more

Iomega announced today that it's shipping an upgraded version of its StorCenter ix2-200 that boasts better performance and the company's Personal Cloud service.

The new Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 has the same name and physical look as the existing one. To make it less confusing, the company added "Cloud Edition" to the product's name.

The new dual-bay NAS server comes in 2TB, 4TB, and 6TB capacities (the previous model caps at 4TB). It supports RAID 1, JOBD, and iSCSI, an advanced network storage feature that lets a computer manipulate the NAS server's storage as its … Read more

I reviewed the Iomega Home Media Network Drive awhile ago and found it to be a very good NAS server for home users. Iomega announced an upgraded version of this product today, and it seems even better.

The new Home Media Network Drive shares the same physical design as the previous model. It comes with two USB ports (front and back) and one Gigabit network port. Iomega, however, says that it's now equipped with improved internal hardware based on a dual-core processor that allows for much faster performance.

Most significantly, however, is the fact that it's one of … Read more

LAS VEGAS--Ever been in a situation in which your iPhone crashes (or mysteriously loses all of its information after a firmware update), and you resort to a backup within iTunes to get your data back just to realize that no recent backup had been successfully made? Well, I know a few who have suffered through this painful experience. It's obviously a little too late for them, but for the rest of you, there's now a way to avoid that.

Iomega today joins the long list of vendors that make accessories for the iPhone by announcing the Iomega SuperHero … Read more

LAS VEGAS--A year ago, during CES 2010, consumers had a chance to experience D-Link's Boxee Box for the first time. This is a funky online media streamer that can play back digital content, especially videos, from various online sources.

The connection is unclear, but a year later, Iomega today announced a similar product called Iomega TV with Boxee + Storage, which, in addition to being able to stream online content, can also play back from local and network storage devices.

The Iomega TV with Boxee + Storage comes with an internal 3.5-inch hard drive with either 1TB or 2TB capacities, … Read more

LAS VEGAS--One of many benefits of a having a network-attached storage server at home is that you can access your data from anywhere via the Internet. That is, of course, if the NAS server supports this feature.

And if you buy any new NAS servers from Iomega this year, you'll for sure be able to enjoy this benefit. The company announced today "Iomega Personal Cloud," its new approach to the remote-access functionality of its network storage server.

Basically, it's an enhanced, easy to use, and comprehensive way for people to access an NAS server at home … Read more
