CNET Review
The Good: Easy to set up and use; excellent Web-based interface; compact and sleek design.
The Bad: Lacks advanced NAS features; hard drive is not user serviceable; can't read NTFS external hard drive.
The Bottom Line: The Iomega Home Media Network Drive, a single-volume NAS server, is easy to set up and use for even the most novice user; however, its lack of advanced features might lessen its appeal to savvy users.
