Our office is tiny - usually just me + one other person, and nobody else uses the Iomega box. Performance seems much slower - longer to mount volumes, longer to transfer files, and working on live files they are slower to open and save. In my new "real" office we are using an Iomega Storcenter IX2 and I'm connecting to it via a Cisco gigabit switch. I was able to work directly on files off the server - pretty big photos, Photoshop documents, zipping/unzipping files - with very little perceived slowness due to working over the network. In my old home office I was using an old Powermac G5 running Tiger (not server) as a local fileserver, connected to our network via a gigabit switch.
