I didn't see any reviews on this product and having owned it for 7 months now I figured I would provide some feedback to any potential buyers. This was a birthday present and I am not sure what the price was at that time but it has gone down quite a bit since then. My main purpose in asking for this component was to have a portable hard drive that I could use for my Playstation 3 since that drive is only 60GB and fills up rather quickly with all the demos and videos I download. I use this hard drive mostly to transfer movies on it from my PC so I can watch them on my TV through the PS3 (in DivX format). So far I have not had any issues with it and it works great everytime I plug it in. A green light comes on when it receives power so you know when it is on. The noise from the hard drive itself is not loud and it makes a beeping sound to let you know if it is not connected properly. Although the price has come down on external drives and one with a larger capacity can be found, I couldn't be more satisfied with this one. Eventually I will replace it with a bigger one, but have yet to fill it up. The transfer rate to me seems very quick and I use it with Windows Vista, which has not presented any issues. The drive is very small, thin, lightweight, and easily fits in your pocket. A USB cord is included which allows connection between the drive and two devices, which I thought was nice. There is no pre-installed software that I wouldn't use anyway; as most companies are starting to include this with their products now. As I mentioned, I am completly satisfied with this product and have been familair with Iomega products for a while. Thanks!
