January 23, 2007 (MacCentral) -- Iomega Corp. today announced the availability of its StorCenter Pro NAS 150d, a network-attached storage server that features 1TB of storage capacity and hot-swappable hard disk drive mechanisms. It is priced at $799.

The 1TB model features four hot-swappable SATA II 250GB hard disk drive mechanisms. A 2TB version that uses 500GB mechanisms is available for $1,499. You can configure the server using RAID Level 0 (striping) for improved performance, RAID Level 1 (mirroring) for redundancy or RAID Level 5 (striping plus parity) for maximum security.

The StorCenter Pro NAS 150d has a Gigabit Ethernet port and a USB 2.0 port for sharing up to four printers on the network. It supports Mac OS X, Windows and Linux operating systems. A five-user license of EMC Retrospect Express is also included, for network-based backups.

Mac system requirements call for Mac OS X v10.2.7 or later.
