Ix2 iSCSI feels like a no-frills implementation. In addition, NFS performance decreased after applying the latest firmware update. Performance results were at times inconsistent during multiple runs of the same IO test. With two spindles, I wasnвЂ™t expecting grand results but I was curious nonetheless and I also wanted to share and compare with some co-workers who tested their home storage this past week. IвЂ™m in it for the vSphere use case so I benchmarked NFS and iSCSI in a way which is consistent with how IвЂ™ve performed previous storage performance tests which can also be compared in the VMware community (take a look hereВ and hereВ for those comparisons). Speaking of jumbo frames, what about performance? I was pleasantly surprised to find the ix2-200 officially supported byВ VMware vSphere for both iSCSI and NAS. My unit seems hot I need to check that fan showing 0 RPM:Д«elieve it or not, Jumbo Frames support at either 4000 or 9000 MTU:

RAID 1 (mirror) with automatic RAID rebuild andВ RAID 0 (Stripe w/o parity) support as well as JBOD mode also available. The ix2 ships with 2x 1TB SATA-II drives. Please pardon the inconsistent cropping crudity: UI Candy: The management interface consists of five main tabs: Home, Dashboard, Users, Shared Storage, and Settings.

Several backup options, including cloud integrated.

Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube integration.

Power consumption вЂ“ 5 Watts (min) вЂ“ 19 Watts (max)ДЄpplication Features: The ix2-200 has an impressiveВ set, most of which I donвЂ™t or probably will never use.

Client computers for file system access-Windows PC, Mac OS, Linux.

3 x USB 2.0 ports (to connect external HDD, printers, UPS, Bluetooth dongle).

2 x 3.5вЂі Easy-Swap SATA-II Hard Disk Drives.

Updating the firmware added some features and sped up iSCSI LUN creation time immensely. My unit shipped with a fairly old version of firmware which I wasnвЂ™t initially aware of based on feedback from the management interface which claimed it was all up to date. Once the appliance is on the network, the web interface via its TCP/IP host address proved to be more reliable.

I later ditched the management software due to an annoying iSCSI configuration bug.

This software also integrates nicely with the PC itвЂ™s installed on providing file backup and other features, some п»їп»їп»їof which are new in the -200 version of the appliance and cloud related. The package includes software which I initially installed on my Windows 7 workstation to get up and running. NFS, iSCSI, CIFS/SMB, Apple File Sharing, Bluetooth, FTP, TFTP (a new addition in the latest firmware update), rsync, and SNMP to name several.ДЄ rich and easy to use browser-based interface provides access to the device and storage configuration. The ix2 serves as network attached storage (NAS) capable of several protocols mapping it to many of the most popular applications. This is a nifty little device which could prove quite useful in the home, home office, college dorm, or small business. I recently acquired an Iomega ix2-200 storage appliance which is perhaps the smallest storage device in EMCвЂ™s vast portfolio, save the VMAX thumb drive IвЂ™ve heard sparse sightings of.
