5.0 out of 5 stars I dont know why I waited so long to get one?, October 1, 2008

By	D. Smith "Big Daves Choppers" (Riverside, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This external hard drive is excellent; I can copy material from home and transfer the material/pictures to my PC at work. It works great I had a stick drive 2gIG it just got me mad because of never enough room. I literally removed all my files from my 80Gig hard drive in my PC and now are carrying them with me. Great product just plug n play. And it looks cool when you get it out at someones house to show your pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Hard Drive, September 30, 2008

By	Dimitri Avaloff (East Palo Alto, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I needed an extension to my storing abilities and thought I would try this iomega product. Works as advertised, very easy to setup - no power cable and that helps. The back of my computer is spaghetti junction anyway so I liked the single cord. Nice and small drive as well that does not get hot enough to fry eggs on - also a plus. Hopefully it will last for a few years. Seems as if you need to put all of your data on some sort of "hard copy" anyway - hard drives can die. But this makes access waaaayyy easier. Overall very pleased with this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical....and smart looking too, September 27, 2008

By	clickfreak "clickfreak" (Stamford,CT USA) - See all my reviews

Any stuff is good if it does what it's supposed to and so does this. Of course I was impressed by the 'torture test' review of this product where they dropped it from 15' on concrete and drove a Chevy Tahoe over it and it still worked. I'm definitely not trying anything like this, but feel more confident about the safety of my data.
