1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible drive, useless support, July 1, 2005

This review is from: Iomega 400GB External Hard Drive with Triple Interface ( 33126 ) (Personal Computers)

When I received this drive everything seemed fine...I plugged it in via USB 2.0 since I didn't have the Firewire 400 cable I needed and it worked, albeit with a slow transfer speed. After I purchased the cable a few weeks later, however, the drive failed to mount when connected via Firewire. I contact iomega's support via their online interactive chat and the support person informed me that the first thing I needed to do was plug the drive directly into a wall outlet instead of into a power strip; apparently these drives are extremely sensitive to power fluctuations (already not a good sign). I don't know about you, but with my setup that's just not possible and I told him so and asked what other avenues we could explore. There were none. That was it. If I couldn't plug the drive into a wall outlet he couldn't help me. I'm returning the drive.

My co-worker purchased an Iomega 240GB external hard drive on a friend’s recommendation. I used his and found it to work pretty well. I purchased the 400GB in November '05 and have had no problems since. It has two fire wire and one USB connection. It looks real nice with a cool blue power light. My only beef is that it's hard to turn off. I usually just unplug it. I would recommend it to anybody that wants a simple stylish memory powerhouse.

Need I say more. Maybe you'll have better luck. (also, the software CDs that came with the drive were WARPED and unreadable.)
