If you take advantage of the USB port in the front, you can see the contents of the USB drive in another folder and even watch as the drive copies. The media services offered by the drive include video surveillance, a media server, and a Picture Transfer feature that allows users to download photos from their camera to the unit and effortlessly share them over the network. IT professionals and others with high-end feature needs will find the 4TB of storage space welcoming, but the lack of ease of formatting and replacing the drives is frustrating.
If the StorCenter ix offered hot swappable bays, the market for it would be much larger. Note: When you purchase something after clicking links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Contact information for Iomega Customer Service can be obtained on our support website at: Americas www.

Write caching is a mechanism that attempts to separate the fast processing speed of the Iomega StorCenter ix from the relatively slow mechanics of actually writing data to drive.
With write caching disabled, every write to drive will cause the Iomega StorCenter ix to wait while the data is written to drive, which can slow performance. When write caching is enabled and the Iomega StorCenter ix sends a write request to the drive, instead of writing directly to the drive, it writes the data to cache which is much faster and sends an immediate acknowledgement to the Iomega StorCenter ix saying the write is complete.
The system can then proceed without having to wait for the data to actually get written to drive, which will occur in the background. While write caching does improve performance, there are some risks. Because the system will respond that the data has been written to drive when in fact it has only been written to cache, should the Iomega StorCenter ix lose power any data that did not get completely written to drive will be lost forever.
This is because cache memory is volatile. If you lose power, the contents of the cache are lost. Therefore, if there were any pending writes in the cache that were not written to the drive yet, they will be lost forever. Using a UPS Uninterrupted Power Supply can mitigate the risk associated with write caching, which is why it is recommended to only enable this feature when a UPS is connected.
Applying Global Drive Management Settings 1. Click Settings. You see this option only if there is at least one unused drive on the Iomega StorCenter ix To change the protection, choose a value from the drop-down menu: Mirror RAID 10 Uses half of the storage space for protection, leaving half for actual data.
None Turns off data protection and leaves your data vulnerable to data loss. Select a value for disk write caching. So, if you lose power, the contents of the cache is lost. Check Enable periodic consistency check to enable a monthly parity or mirror consistency check.
The check helps to prevent a single drive failure from becoming a two-drive failure, resulting in data loss. The check runs for several hours and can affect performance of the Iomega StorCenter ix2- If you do not want to run the check, uncheck this option.
Drive status An image on the Drive Management page provides information on the drive status of your Iomega StorCenter ix The image displays the physical layout of drives and the drive slot numbers. If a drive has a circled letter, it is a member of a Storage Pool.
