Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive Backup & Media Streaming Network HDD

Iomega have taken the wraps off their new Home Media Network Hard Drive
which, according to Iomega, serves as setting 'a new standard in
easy-to-use network storage for the digital home' in offering up to 1TB
of network storage capacity allowing for both the backing up of files as
well as the streaming of music, videos and photos across a network to
multiple computers, networked TVs and other home entertainment systems.

'Iomega's new Home Media Network Hard Drive is a powerful network
storage device that's so straightforward that even a novice can be
backing up multiple computers and streaming media around their home in
less than five minutes,' said Jonathan Huberman, president of Iomega and
the Consumer and Small Business Products Division of EMC.ย 'The Home
Media Network Drive does the serious work of backing up and protecting
digital files, but it also does the fun things like streaming photos and
videos to game consoles, digital picture frames and networked TVs, as
well as automatically feeding music into iTunes for easy playback - all
for little more than the cost of a USB direct-attached desktop hard
drive with comparable storage capacity.'

The Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive comes with both gigabit
Ethernet and USB connectivity and is supplied with Iomega's Lifeline
software (allowing for ease of backup as well as media streaming) and
will be made available in two versions offering 500GB and 1TB of
capacity respectively.
