It also does a load of networking support like Apple File Sharing, Bluetooth, FTP, NFS, Rsync, SNMP and standard Windows File Sharing (CIFS). More, the iOmega Ix2-200 has torrent downloading and remote access enabled.

More features of the Ix2-200:

* Automated copy jobs, which can automatically and incrementally copy (either with Windows file sharing or rsync) files off of network shares and dump it onto its own storage, or the other way around. Perfect for backing up other network shares for double data security
* RAID1
* DLNA, iTunes Servers
* Quiet running

For $270, you will get a 1TB version of the iOmega Ix2-200 while there’s 2TB for $370 and 4TB for $700.
