I remember losing my 1st tooth (but none of the other first teeth). I was eating rice at the time and my tooth ejected itself into the rice. The trauma of searching for it is indelibly etched on my brain, scarring me for life.

Explains much.

Congrats to Alex; he has started the long journey to manhood.

I agree with everyone on compatibility,,, it just plain sucks. I did read some reviews but, figured most just didn't know how to set things up,,, i guess they were all correct about it being a piece of junk (nice paper weight). I can say that so far for my HDD's connected as well as thumb drives, it works OK well sort of slow. I have tried to get 2 Lexmark printers to work (Lexmark z730 As well as Lexmark x8350 all in one) and both failed to do anything, they show up in the Iomega list, not sure why because they sure don't work. I am going to keep it only for the USB hard drives I have,,, but other than that, TIE a Brick around it and throw it in the nearest river. END of Story.

I am yet to hear genuine positive comments about Iomega, indeed, I was looking for a media player device and there are Iomega ones out there that look good on paper but I just cannot bring myself to even consider trying them.

Hello,
I bought two iOmega iConnect devices, and will return them on Monday.
I wanted to connect 2x2TB,2x1.5TB and 3x1TB + 233GB to them, but after having tried the first device decided never to take out the second out of its box.
Problems encountered in the first week with 1 device, wired to my router, with 2 USB HDD's connected to it:
1) terrrrrribly slooooow transfer speeds of approx 3-4 MB/s writing and 5-6 MB/s reading;
2) unstable: during large file transfer jobs the device crashes, waits for some 10 - 50 minutes, resets, and is up and "running"(rather say crawling) again after sometimes more than 1 hour; supposedly this has to do with the drives being formatted at NTFS - but hey: if that's a problem then don't mention it as being compatible at first! and what to do with my DVD iso's if the advice is to switch to FAT32?!
3) Media Server: alright, Twonky of some kind might be built in, but when indexing my music collection (f around 10.000 songs) and building its index file it crashes becuase that's obviously too much. But if I had a smaller collection, I'd leave it on my internal HDD - the size of the library is a main reason to switch to an external drive, no?
4)Torrent downloading: ok, but when downloaded the files have to be processed, and that's an issue with the CPU and memory involved: while performing other disk operations the device crashes - too much for it. Poor thing...
5) Network connectivity: the wired network is the fastest (actually when switching on wired + wireless the speed slows down!) but it often disconnects. It will send you an email about this (nice) but -of course- only after the network connection is restored. This is often done by yourself manually, since you notice there is no network connectivity - when restored, you get the message it actually wanted to send you when it couldn't. Duuuh....

Really: I don't think there has been real engineers involved in designing this device. It might have been an educational thing for first year students, but this whole thing is sad.

Verdict: if you want to be disappointed, then buy this device. Otherwise don't.

Thanks for the comment.

What little contact I had was so useless there are other Iomega products I've looked at and rejected as a result of this experience. Iomega do seem good at producing consumer centric products at practical prices but seem incapable of providing support. My advice, steer clear of Iomega.

Hi,
I'm currently facing the same situation.

Did you ever get any response or a solution from iomega?

Thanks.

2011-04-14T15:07:21.396+01:00

I haven't seen this problem for a while but it has reappeared - this time caused by an installation of a higher version of SQL Server Express - was hard enough to get the installation working (finally worked with the setup parameter SKUUPGRADE = 1) in the first place so was disappointing to find the client install still incomplete.

I have now added a 0.3mm shim on the processor. Interesting even the MX2 paste had turned nasty and solid in the intervening time so for the CPU & GPU I've used Arctic Silver 5. End results is that the GPU is 2c cooler again whilst the CPU is no cooler but when the cores heat up from activity they cool down a whole lot faster.

Sorry to hear that - unfortunately all I can say is good luck with Iomega "support" as they seemed incapable of support last contact I had.

2010-12-27T13:48:41.565Z

Hi Guys,

I just bought me a iConnect and it is very dissapointing indeed. Connecting a HDD is done in a minute. Getting a HP printer connected and working.....isn't.

I don't know what a compatible printer should be but my HP OfficeJet isn't I can tell you that.

The iConnect does find the printer and let it be shared in the network. So far so good and it looks promising. But printing just doesn't work.

I don't know what Iomega's vision regarding this issue will be. But I think that they have made it for more modern printers then mine. That would surprise me because almost every recent printer is delivered with a network connection. People who buy this device probably buy it to connect an "old" printer to a network. (next to the NAS functionality)

2010-12-01T09:08:06.376Z

Just think yourself lucky you don't have a Lexmark printer - my dad's has been playing up (same fix of deleting the composite device worked so I guess it's a Windows 7 issue / Windows general USB issue rather than printer specific). The downside for him is that Lexmark have decided his printer (Lexmark X2350) is discontinued so they no longer have the drive available.

2010-11-30T20:30:22.455Z

I don't know what it is but I have only bought HP printers for as long as I have had PCs!

The major problem that I have had with them is the annoying software that has accompanied them. I just want the bloody driver!!

If you mean resaving a given file to see if it sorts the issue by overwriting the corrupt file that doesn't work, that was the first thing I tried.

I am still a fan of XCOPY even with Windows 7. Copy only the new and changed files to the 2nd HD and then burn them to DVD RW whenever.

2010-08-05T20:30:26.805+01:00

I never actually made the purchase - I asked the questions before buying as I wanted to make sure it would work before I started and suppliers usually make an effort to take your money but I got absolutely nowhere. To say they were unhelpful would be a significant understatement.

I did look at the pogoplug too for sharing USB drives and ended up doing a little background research because usb connectivity on routers is appearing now and it appears there is a standard driver they support for printing but HP seem to be equally unsupportive about providing compatibility info so it's all down to finding someone who has already tried and succeeded before parting with cash.

could you make it work?
thanks in advance
