Diskless NAS shares USB storage via WiFi

By Eric Brown

“EMC subsidiary Iomega is readying a WiFi-enabled, Linux-based
network-attached storage (NAS) device that costs $100. The Iomega
iConnect Wireless Data Station has no storage of its own, but acts
as a wireless hub that shares data stored on devices hooked up to
its four USB 2.0 ports.

“The iConnect Wireless Data Station is built around an unnamed
1GHz CPU with 256MB RAM. Equipped with 802.11b/g/n WiFi, the device
offers a gigabit Ethernet port and four USB 2.0 ports.

“The iConnect runs on 100-240 VAC AC voltage, and consumes about
five Watts, says Iomega. The device is also said to offer a front
panel “QuikTransfer” button for copying selected files directly
between networked storage devices or with an attached Windows, Mac,
or Linux PC.”
