Iomega is back in tech news today announcing a new line of network hard drives designed for network storage at home. The Iomega Home Network Hard Drives come in 320GB ($200), 360GB ($150) and 500GB ($200) storage sizes.

The Iomega Home Network Hard Drives make use of 10/100 Ethernet technology to enable network storage. A Windows utility is included to get the drive connected to each PC which will share the drive. The drives inside are 7200 RPM SATA-II hard drives with an 8MB cache.

The NASPerform also comes with a USB 2.0 port, allowing one to use it as a portable external USB hard drive.

Speed issues with other models seems to have been alleviated with the usage of a Gigabit network connection and of course the inclusion of faster hard drives. Buffalo claims that the speed of this unit rivals a local USB drive. In practice this performance claim didn’t quite pan out but it is still by far the fastest unit like this that we have seen.
