New Network Hardware

We have received some new network hardware here at our house. An Iomega Reconditioned Home Network Hard Drive Ethernet 500GB. It's a NAS drive that will be used for network storage of pictures, music, data, software and anything else that needs to be stored.

More importantly, it comes with EMC backup software which I am really excited about to backup our computers, and backup the data drive to an external drive. This should provide us with significant peace of mind.

Currently, (before this new drive) we are using a computer from about 1908 (or a little later than that) for our storage purposes. I installed FreeNAS and, despite a semi-difficult installation and setup, it has worked really well for us. It was just time to upgrade.

The box arrived today and I'll bust it open and see what I find.
