Iomega StorCenter px6-300d 12TB (6 x 2TB) NAS Server - 35096

I was having issues with CIFS/SMB write speed. I checked up the network connections and everything was fine. Even checked with a few forums and help sites but of no use. Then I decided to give technical support a try. I called up and the guy who responded asked me to update the firmware. He also gave me the links to facilitate easy download. Once I updated to the latest firmware I found remarkable improvement in the write speeds. The StorCenter px6-300d is a sturdy NAS that does not compromise on any issues be it remote access, storage, content sharing, security or design. The NAS was delivered with six 2TB drives, I was saved the trouble of searching for compatible drives. Overall the NAS gives no room for grievances.

The StorCenter px6-300d interested me for its endless features, robust design, cloud technology, remote access, reduplicating and the list goes on. I am a freelance photographer and was looking for a perfect NAS for my growing collection of photos and videos. I wanted a big storage space, high security features and remote access. Since the px6-300d packaged all these features I went on to purchase the NAS. So far the device has worked as expected. It is apt for my ever expanding photo collection.

Working with number of network storage devices I felt that the StorCenter px6-300d is clearly superior to the other NASes I have worked with. The stunning looks, awesome performance, virtual silence and a beam of other features has made the px6-300d a business delight. The caddies can be removed easily incase a disk change is required but I did not encounter any disk issues so far. <br /><br />The USB port supports my printers and Quick Transfer button comes handy when it comes to backup jobs. The Linux based lifeline operating system is enough to prove its superiority as most of the top NAS manufacturers have opted for Linux.

Installation was easy and with cabling in place the StorCenter px6-300d NAS started up pretty quick. I backup online and my data is on the cloud as well, hence I do not have any fears of losing data. Downloading files is fast and configuring the device is easy as well. It is not a diskless version and the NAS was loaded with 12TB storage. The AD integration and iSCSI was not available. I called up tech support and found out that I had to enable these. Though I would have preferred the diskless option I found the 12TB was a bonus.

I was ready with the NAS within no time. Functions-wise and performance-wise the StorCenter px6-300d is truly amazing. The NAS allows remote access comes with expandable storage capacity, cutting edge technology, cloud access, fast performance and bleeding-edge applications. <br /><br />The NAS is perfect for my office environment and an inexpensive one at that keeping in mind the truck load of features it came with. The device came loaded with six 2TB drives and I found this ample for my work. The unit is quiet and cool. The setup with iSCSI was flawless and easier than I anticipated. On the whole a very high quality NAS device that delivers what it should.

This NAS has been with me for a month now and I am still exploring the possibilities with this device. It is a great NAS and it came with 12TB drives and I configured it in RAID 6. Things are smooth till now. This is not my first and hence I am able to understand the pros and cons of this machine. Setup is easy and I was able to initiate backup in a snap. I found that the read/write speed is slow and tried changing my cables to Cat5 cables. Now the transfer speed is good and performance has gone up considerably.<br /><br />It comes with a bunch of features like SSD support, iSCSI block level access, UPS communication support, print server, BitTorrents and more. Everything works as it should and I am happy.

Even for a non-IT professional like me the px6 was easy to install including the remote access. The speed is amazing with 2 gigabit Ethernet ports doing the job just fine. The web interface is user friendly ,The px6 supports many network protocols, security features and is highly recommended for complex business environment as well. Now this unit is running fine in our Windows environment.

I bought the StorCenter px6 to solve my long standing problems like data backup and data organization. The px6 took care of not just these but also did more than what I expected of a NAS server. It is expensive but compared to the features it offers it is a true money saver. No more running to recover data from crashed disks as the RAID mirroring facility allows replication of data, which means more than one copy. Having multiple copies is the safest means to save data loss. So far so good.

From now on I can get rid of all the cumbersome external hard drives, CD and other storage medium as my px6-300d is a one stop destination for all my storage needs. Setting up the device was a breeze and I did not encounter any issues.Configuring iSCSI levels also was simple. <br /><br />Though the px6-300d is meant for advanced users I was able to complete the installation process after a few phone calls to the Iomega technical support. They were very helpful.

The six bay StorCenter px6-300d by Iomega has been very helpful in my distributed office. The px6-300d came installed with 12TB disks in the bays that can be connected with each other using RAID arrays, I chose RAID 5. Though unusual, creating shared resources was not complicated in this NAS device. First I have to build a RAID array for my disks and then mention the disk volume of a particular capacity after this I was able to created shared folders. I have used NAS servers before but this is different. I realized that the disk volume is half the usual capacity. <br /><br />The greatest advantage of the px6 which I found out is that I was able to change the capacity and the RAID types without losing any information on my disks. I am very pleased with the px6 offered by Iomega.

I just added an iSCSI drive to the iSCSI page and from there I selected the needed storage pool from the menu. After this all I had to do was to enter a name for the iSCSI drive. <br /><br />For the first time I had to enter the name for iSCSI/volume name. From here I selected the create a volume option and the new volume for my iSCSI drive was created. It was as simple as that. Now I am able to share files comfortably over the network.

The 12TB model of Iomega StorCenter px6-300d comes loaded with six 2TB Hitachi Deskstar SATA 3 hard disks.
