EMC’s Retrospect HD comes bundled to deal with workstation backup. The twin USB ports at the ix2’s rear support storage drives, printers and even some Bluetooth dongles.Įlsewhere, the ix2 boasts FTP, iTunes and UPnP media servers, and there’s also Axis support for direct recording from IP security cameras. A dashboard on the web interface’s front page gives a quick overview of disk usage and lists connected USB devices. Installation was rapid and the web interface clear. The ix2 goes some way towards making up for its deficiencies by virtue of its ease of use.
Read speeds weren’t a lot quicker, with large and small files reaching 18MB/sec and 14MB/sec respectively. Transferring small files proved taxing, with write speeds dropping to 9MB/sec. Writing large files saw the ix2 manage just 11MB/sec.
And these drives can be configured in mirrored RAID1 or JBOD arrays. With 2TB spread across two 7,200rpm, 32MB cache drives there’s no shortage of storage.
