    CNET Review

    November 5, 2008

    The Good: Easy to set up and manage; excellent Web-based interface; compact and quiet; supports Bluetooth; can read and write to external hard drives formatted in NTFS.

    The Bad: The two hard drives are not user replaceable or serviceable; no remote access via the Internet; requires application running in the background to use Web interface; short one-year warranty.

    The Bottom Line: The Iomega StorCenter ix2 is a two-drive NAS device that offers Bluetooth support but no remote access via the Web. We don't like the fact that you can't access its two hard drives, but it still holds appeal for novice users looking for a dead simple NAS drive.
