1.0 out of 5 stars Included cable won't connect to current Mac minis, September 4, 2009

By	Dr. Stuart Cheshire (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like the MiniMax because it stacks neatly under a Mac mini, but since March 2009 Mac minis have had Firewire 800. Not only is the MiniMax still Firewire 400, which is half the speed, it does not even ship with the right cable (FW400-to-FW800) to connect to a current Mac mini. If you have an old Firewire 400 Mac mini then this is a great drive, otherwise I suggest waiting until Iomega updates the product line to Firewire 800.

Here's the official Iomega Technical Support response: "The answer to your question is no, the MiniMax does not and will not be packaged with a 400 to 800 Firewire cable. You will need to contact Apple to obtain the cable that you are looking for. -- Hal, Iomega Technical Support"

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, stackable & added firewire ports, February 19, 2009

By	Carlton Ward "redjelly39" (Portland, Or United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have a 500GB & (2) 750GB of these Iomega MiniMax drives and they are quiet, fast and for over a year now, no problems at all. They are also very nice looking. Being stackable with additional firewire & USB ports, I have my firewire CF card reader plugged into one of the drives and can download an 4GB card in less than 5 minutes. I use a 24" IMAC w/Leopard and use mostly for photography.

4.0 out of 5 stars perfect companion, February 8, 2008

By	Andres F. Fuentes - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought a mac mini and this disc is perfect for it, it has the same size of my mini, even though the disk got damage in 1 month, for some reason the disk started to sound weird, but the seller sent me a new one right away, fortunately i had a backup of my lost data. I sill thinking that is a great selection I'm still waiting my new one doesn't fail.
