Iomega Storcenter Ix2 200 Cloud Edition Firmware
For traditional hard drive owners, network-attached drives are a whole new world. While hard drives have been, on the whole, pretty dumb, devices like Iomega's StorCenter ix2 are mind-bogglingly smart. And they offer more than just backup. In fact, one of the most important things to note about the iX2 is that it's as much a hard drive as it is a full-featured computer. First, the basics: The StorCenter iX2 is a fully customizable two-bay network storage device with support for up to 6TB of data. I used a pair of 1.8TB drives with a RAID 1 (mirroring) configuration. Mirroring gives users added protection, as the data stored on one drive is automatically backed up to the second one.

You'll never feel more protected. The Good: Options, features, customization Iomega, however, is pushing this as more than just a dumb old hard drive. Here are the areas where the device shines. Small-scale surveillance systems. Airmagnet pro software. Let's start from the top. The video surveillance aspect is something that Iomega is pushing quite heavily with the iX2.
The device comes with support for up to five IP cameras, a feature that works for small business looking monitor their space without spending too much cash. Encoded as MPEG-4, video footage is stored directly on the device and without the need for a dedicated computer. (There's more to the feature set than this, but I'm keeping things concise.) Personal cloud. The iX2 cloud storage functionality allows user data to be accessed from any device with an Internet connection.The feature is also a big deal for those turned off by the idea of services like Dropbox and Google Drive, which retain uncertain control over the data users upload to their servers. Perhaps best of all, running your own cloud storage is entirely free, which reduces overhead.
