Iomega vs LaCie NAS
 

Hi!

I'm looking for an embedded and cheap 500GB RAID1 NAS solution for a
small office. I've narrowed the choice to these two:

LaCie 2Big 1TB
and
Iomega 1TB Network HardDrive

But I am worried with the transfer rate these solutions provide. I
intend to run them on a 100Base-T netowrk and expect a throughput of
some 10Mb/s (that's megabytes). Will these devices provide me with
that?

The unavoidable triangle tradeoff:

FAST CHEAP

"Pick any two!"

The Iomega did pretty poorly compared to others, and if the RAID dies,
you lose all your data during a rebuild. I wouldn't touch this with a 10
foot pole.

They don't seem to have a review of the LaCie 2Big drive, but other LaCie
products don't seem too stellar in performance.
