There are many things you can buy for £500. You could buy a 16GB iPhone 3GS , an Asus Eee PC 1008HA but if you or your small business has a lot of data that really can't be lost then £500 could buy you some peace of mind. I'm talking, of course, about a N...

The size of a brick, its by far the smallest drive in our test. Energy Starcompliant power adapter. Simple Webbased admin. Cheap.
Does not work with Apples Time Machine. Power button smaller than a grain of rice. Drives arent serviceable. Lack of Web access is simply a dealkiller, though Iomega says its due shortly.
