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? |

Check out benchmarks at: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30147/75/ 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. Doug White |
