I’ve got an Iomega ix4-200d cloud server, but it doesn’t to the cloud with my router “pout”.
Great little device, Lenovo bought them, and they have been using both the software and the hardware to come up with their own little devices. I got one of their smaller units from Donor’s Choose for my students. Used it to back up their software.
Anyway, it had a disk file, and I replaced it with a 3 TB, because it was cheaper. Then I got the smart idea to replace all the 1T with 3T. I figure if the hardware dies, I’ll just buy a diskless one and go on.
Well, I forgot it was set up with RAID 5 – or at least I didn’t take that into consideration.
I’ve had to pull off the data off, reformat, and rebuild everything. Fortunately it has a script for that – called Factory Reset.
I do keep all that data backed up so pulling the data wasn’t hard.
Working quite well now: With RAID 5, I have 9 T of data.
This is the one I have and note it is the 4 TB, they are used.
This is the one that is in my classroom:
I would buy anything from the whole line: iomega storcenter
