I was reviewing the setup on an IOmega storcenter ix2-200 and noted that there were some updates for the firmware. Specifically for performance of usb attached devices which I had noted were slow during recent use. So if running one of these perhaps as an iscsi target or as a nas storage space – worth putting the update on.
