Solid performance, but...
I've had no performance problems so far; it's relatively fast. However, while the drive is Mac compatible, it isn't automatically so, out of the box. I had to hunt through the support pages at the Iomega site to find instructions on how to repartition for Mac compatibility. It's not brand new on the market; I'd have though Iomega might have included info about repartitioning for Mac by now. Rating:

Defective
When i got my external hardrive I was excited to use it right away, after one session of uploading photos, videos, and word documents I properly ejected, shut off, and removed the USB port. next time I tried to use it, the light wouldn't come on, and the file icon would not show up on my computer. Now i cannot acces anything on my external. How would i go about using the warranty on this product without getting all my files erased?

excellent product,
great performance, It does make a little of a blowing noise like some of the review state but is due to the 7200RPM and all I need it was storage and this product definitively have that. Really, it don't interfere with a movie viewing because you can always place it on the floor or away from your location. Very satisfied with it, that might buy another one Rating:

So Far, So good
I bought this to add space to my Motorola Moxi DVR. It is doing a good job thus far. No complaints. Rating:

So far, so good with my Macbook
I have this in two partitions: for Time Machine backup on my Mac, and for file storage. THIS NEEDS TO BE FORMATTED in the disk utility with journaling turned on BEFORE you use it. Go to the Iomega site and follow their instructions.
So far it has worked fine and isn't any louder than any other 7200 rpm drive I have had in the past, and its nowhere near as loud that the fans on the RAID I have at work. For the price, I would buy it again. |
