Thanks - looking forward to finding a way to improve this situation.
Instalar NAS en Iomega StorCenter Ix2 mac#
Where might the bottleneck be in this system? The Iomega? Slow operating system or something physical about the device? Perhaps a Mac as file server is just inherently faster when I'm on a Mac? Or could the Cisco switch be slowing things somehow? Or perhaps the VPN being on the network is sucking the life out of things somehow?Īlso how can I test it? I can ping it of course, but what's a good way to test transfer rate/speed (or whatever)? After your ix2-200 or ix4-200d powers off, remove the USB flash drive. This should take less than 1 additional minute. After all drives are updated the unit will automatically shut-down.

We do have a VPN but that is only involved when talking to the network from outside, and it isn't between me and the Iomega. The ix2-200 or ix4-200d unit will now execute the utility loaded on the flash drive to update the drives in the system. Our office is tiny - usually just me + one other person, and nobody else uses the Iomega box. Performance seems much slower - longer to mount volumes, longer to transfer files, and working on live files they are slower to open and save.
In my new "real" office we are using an Iomega Storcenter IX2 and I'm connecting to it via a Cisco gigabit switch. I was able to work directly on files off the server - pretty big photos, Photoshop documents, zipping/unzipping files - with very little perceived slowness due to working over the network. In my old home office I was using an old Powermac G5 running Tiger (not server) as a local fileserver, connected to our network via a gigabit switch.
