I have been doing quite a bit of research looking into adding some storage for my multimedia system and Iomega is far and away the most cost effective solution I have found. Especially when you consider that you can take your information to a buddy's house for gaming or working on files.

The 40GB Drive listed here is NOT 7200 PRM, though. Iomega lists it at 5400. For a few bucks more you double the storage and add the bonus RPM. )

Also, note that the USB 2.0 has a higher burst rate (480 MB/s) compared to the Firewire version (400 MB/s).

5.0 out of 5 stars A product that lives up to all of its claims, January 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Iomega 32391 External USB 2.0 5400 RPM 40 GB Hard Drive (Personal Computers)

I am very pleased with how well this drive works. If all you want is another drive, plug it in to power and a USB port and you have another drive. No setup required. Although the one-step backup is easy to work with, it does require about a five minute setup. With USB 2.0, it transfers data at 480 mps. It seems just like an internal drive. It lives up to all of its claims.

Just received my drive and hook-up was flawless. Instantly able to copy files from main drive to Iomega drive. Just like my old Iomega Zip drive, this drive seems to be rock solid. My only complaint is very minor, but I think there should be an on\off switch. I have not used the software yet, but the Iomega software that came with Zip drive is very user-friendly. They are one of the few companies who stick to, and perfect, the basics with a clean and simple layout, rather than try and give you some futuristic "cool" looking software to impress who?
