"A new version of Iomega Storage Manager is available," the app announces on launch. "Click here to download it." And then it "quits unexpectedly", as Mac OS X politely describes the event, although this happens every time you run it. Click for the upg...
The main problems I had with the iConnect mostly dissolved into niggles once I'd applied the firmware upgrade. If Internet access to your drives is important, go for the Pogoplug. Otherwise the iConnect is more generally useful and cheaper, if still...

Product Code: 34780 The Iomega iConnect is a clever, stylish and inexpensive device that allows you to access and share information stored on USB devices on both your home network or via the internet. Here's our Iomega iConnect review. So you have t...
The Iomega iConnect Wireless Data Station is a neat little device. It isn't a USB 3.0 product, but as SuperSpeed USB is backward-compatible and the extra speed would likely be mitigated by the network's own performance bottlenecks anyway, that drawbac...

NAS for people who don't know (or care) what NAS means Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices are often expensive and tough to set up. While centralized, always-on network storage is a huge win, collecting everything from all your various USB drives to...
Perfect for a small household with lots of USB drives hanging around. Easy setup. Cross-platform.
Remote Access software is clunky, and it requires subscription after the first year.
The Iomega iConnect is cheaper than an NAS box and great for a small home network, but its limitations mean it isn’t suitable for power users. iConnect Wireless Data Station...
