Iomega StorCenter 150d (3 terabyte)

Iomega StorCenter 150d
Angle Front Open Disks Pop Out

review

If there's one company grabbing for the brass ring in small-business storage, it's Iomega, and the StorCenter 150d is proof positive: It provides much of what higher-end devices do, but at a fraction of the price—and you get an impressive 3TB of hot-swappable storage in the form of four 750GB SATA II drives. In addition, an easy-to-use front end to the embedded Linux-based operating system makes both setup and administration simple. The 150d comes very close to beating our current Editors' Choice, the Netgear ReadyNAS NV+, and it's a good choice for SMBs that need massive amounts of storage.
