The back is also where the noisy fan lives. (Should one of the drives fail, you can send the unit back to Iomega for repair.) The back of the drive sports a Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 2.0 ports for connecting additional hard drives or printers, a small power button, and two screw-on antennas. The team at Iomega felt there was too much risk of user error when trying to swap out hard drives, especially among the inexperienced.
Unlike the Buffalo TeraStation, you can't open the enclosure to swap out drives, a feature that comes in handy should one of the four drives fail. The front of the drive houses only three LEDs and a black plastic grid through which you can see the drives inside. With its blocky shape and silver-and-black enclosure, it screams "computer equipment that sits in the corner." The drive is heavy, and the whole unit feels well constructed. The Iomega StorCenter Wireless NAS drive a big, solid piece of hardware.
