Iomega StorCenter PX Series Preview

May 4, 2011 By Stephen 1 Comment

Iomega today announced a new line of small desktop and rackmount storage devices. The PX Series addresses many of the limitations of the IX line, bringing high-performance CPUs, SSD, “bring your own drive” options, and “personal cloud” data protection. But the PX will not replace the recently-refreshed IX; instead, it segments the market between home office (IX) and small … [Read more...] about Iomega StorCenter PX Series Preview

August 27, 2009 By Stephen 51 Comments

Iomega is well into its second coming as EMC's entry-level storage division.

As I expected, EMC's Iomega subsidiary today rolled out the StorCenter Pro ix4-100 a big brother to the popular but plain StorCenter ix2 NAS device. This new model add hot-swappable drives (there are four now), RAID-5, and a longer warranty to make it suitable for small office use. It uses a blacked-out version of the chassis from the non-LifeLine StorCenter Pro 150d. … [Read more...] about EMC LifeLine Spreads To The Iomega StorCenter Pro ix4-100

EMC Makes Iomega Relevant Again

January 7, 2009 By Stephen 4 Comments

Pity poor old Iomega. The company responsible for hot products like the Zip drive and coulda-beens like the Clik drive was stumbling in the early part of this decade, unable to distinguish itself from all of the other providers of commodity external storage devices for consumers.
