    I thought Iomega went under with its zip drive (I think I still have one in my basement), guess not.

    i wonder what the disk access performance is. interestingly, an atom 330 mini itx mainboard with some green disks on it, configured as home server, delivers 100MB/s read/write access. a lot of NAS are very bad performing when accessing over network.
