Great Gadgets: Iomega iConnect Wireless Data Station

Published on May 31, 2010   //  Gadgets

Chances are that you have multiple computers connected to your network, so how do you go about sharing the various accessories and resources between these computers? You could set up print servers for your printers and make use of network-attached storage (NAS) enclosures for data, but the Iomega iConnect Wireless Data Station 34779 is so much simpler than that.

Instead of fumbling through that much configuration and several different products to achieve the different kinds of functionality you need, you can just use the iConnect Wireless Data Station. It can connect to your network, either wired or wireless, and effectively share any USB-connected device with every computer connected to the network.

The natural utility here is to connect USB flash drives and external hard drives, providing access to those files to any computer on the network. Going even further, this data can be even be accessed over the Internet by a remote computer should you choose to configure the device to work in that way. It can also be used for USB printers and other USB peripherals. The iConnect is compatible with Apple Time Machine too.
