Iomega today announced the next generation of its double-drive desktop NAS box, the StorCenter ix2-200. The box comes available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities, each with a four-step setup process, and sports a few noteworthy tricks, such as built-in torrent support.

It also touts multiple IP security camera support, RAID 1 configurations, device-to-device replication, VMWare certification, Time Machine support for Apple computer backups, Bluetooth, remote access, and a bunch more marketing bullets.

"The new StorCenter ix2-200 is definitely the easiest to use small office and consumer network storage appliance in the marketplace today," said Jonathan Huberman, president of Iomega and the Consumer and Small Business Products Division of EMC.

Both the 1TB and 2TB models are available now for $270 and $370, respectively. The 4TB NAS box will debut later this month for $700.

Xtreamer on Thursday announced its new eTRAYz 2-bay NAS unit with support for up 4TB in storage. Best of all, existing Xtremer Media Player owners are eligible for a sizable introductory discount, bringing the price down from 99 EUR ($141 USD) to 59 EUR ($84) plus shipping.

Price doesn't include drives -- you'll have to bring your own HDDs -- but otherwise the eTRAYz NAS comes with Windows 7 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard support, RAID 0/1, torrent management, 802.11n, and a surveillance webcam to keep tabs on the unit from a remote location.

Pre-ordering starts on November 1, 2009 with no word yet on a projected ship date.
