Iomega UltraMax Pro
$475.00
Released August, 2007
The Pros:Attractive looking case design, looks impressive. Can handle a few bumps without any damage. Easy to use, don't even need the manual.
The Cons:Poor ventilation, grill design blocks proper airflow. Fan is underpowered, doesn't move much air. Entire unit heats up severely after a few hours.
The Iomega UltraMax Pro is a large storage system that has two hard drives, either both 750 GB or 1TB depending on which size capacity picked. The Iomega UltraMax Pro is hot swappable, which means that the drives can be swapped without waiting for them to turn off.

It has two FireWire 800 ports, one FireWire 400 port, and one USB 2.0 port. Those features, plus its stackable design, make the UltraMax Pro a good product to expand upon. The Lomega UltraMax Pro comes with a built-in RAID 0, which means more data space in general. RAID 1 is available as an option as well which is good for those who want a little protection just incase one of the hard drives fails. There is a manual switch that allows for no RAID to be selected at all (JBOD). With the package comes a CD with EMC Retrospect Express software designed to help the consumer set up their backups and handle data recovery. The CD also contains the HTML version of the user manual and additional help files.
