Iomega NAS 100d

REVIEW

By Matthew D. Sarrel

The Iomega NAS 100d can be connected to a network via Ethernet or 802.11g—uniquely in this roundup. On the surface, the 100d is an easy-to-implement solution for those with wireless networks who need additional storage, but its lack of security makes it difficult to recommend.

Company

Iomega Corporation

Spec Data
  • Price as Tested: $499.00

Bottom Line

The Iomega NAS 100d is the only device in this roundup to offer wireless networking connectivity. But this functionality has to be weighed against outdated wireless security and a complete lack of data security.

Pros

Offers connectivity via Ethernet and 802.11g wireless networking; very quiet when operating; expandable via USB 2.0.

Cons

Offers neither share-level nor user-level security; uses WEP instead of WPA.
