Iomega's NAS 100d wireless network hard drive

Iomega NAS 100d

We're officially trying to break our really nasty habit of treating Iomega like a punching bag (we've got a few other bad habits we're not giving up quite yet), which is why we're turning our attention towards the NAS 100d, their first wireless networked attached storage drive that can hook up with your home network over WiFi (it's got that built-in 802.11g the kids are going crazy for these days). There are most definitely some less pricey options out there (the 160GB version retails for $499 and the 250GB version goes for $599), but they're aiming this one specifically at the small business market. It has a couple of USB ports if you want add some extra storage capacity via another external hard drive, but the really good part is that you don't need to run any special software on each PC that wants to access the NAS 100d; since it runs on its own embedded operating system it should be automatically pop up on your network (big emphasis on the "should" since you know how these things go.
