There really aren't any major features missing from the StorCentre ix4-200d given its intended market and those offered are excellent save for a few niggles here and there. Nor is the pricing for the 2TB and 4TB models anything to baulk at, though the 8TB...

Overall, I liked the ix4-200d. It did what it was supposed to do, without issues, and worked as intended. As far as the feature set goes, it’s almost too much. This makes the set up a little difficult, but once you get through the process it’s seamles...

The size of a brick, its by far the smallest drive in our test. Energy Starcompliant power adapter. Simple Webbased admin. Cheap.
Does not work with Apples Time Machine. Power button smaller than a grain of rice. Drives arent serviceable. Lack of Web access is simply a dealkiller, though Iomega says its due shortly.
