iOmega Home Media Network Hard Drive help please

by bertie64 . Updated 16 years, 6 months ago

I have the above bit of kit. Probably it is just not a great drive but any help with the following would be appreciated:

It comes set up as 5 separate drives (V-Z)- for public, backup, music, movies, pictures – but all that seems to do is to slow it down when I need to transfer files across different drive letters. Is there any point?

The configuration software tells me the music “Drive” is set up for iTunes and the Movies “Drive” is set up for DLNA. Does this actually do more than setting up a folder and optimising for music or video?

Transfer speed from the device to my Desktop are in the order of 8-8.5MB/sec but between “drives” on the iOmega are rarely above 3MB/sec. Within one drive on the iOmega it is instant (obvious i guess).

1. Is there any point in keeping the configuration?

2. Now that I have 300GB of data organised across the various drives (doh!) is there a way to reconfigure the drives to folders without having to back-up and restore the lot!

Thanks.
