Love it

ByRSTHALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERon April 23, 2010

Size: 320 GBVerified Purchase

I've bought & distributed dozens of small storage devices like this to employees where I work. This one has been, by far, the best designed and has the best performance of all that I've tried. It does have two USB connections to achieve that speed, stays cool, and the USB cable plugs into the rear side instead of the rear. Other than where the cable plugs, I am completely satisfied and in love with the Prestige line from Iomega. Completely recommended. I put it in the same category as all of the Prestige drives.

*update*

Well I come back with bad news... I bought a 1TB capacity model of this drive, did a huge backup to the drive, and during the process the speed of copy just got slower, and slower, and slower. It never stopped, and the drive never even got warm. That being said, a few days later trying to access the drive greeted me with some "drive has not been formatted, would you like to format it?" That's a telltale sign that a drive is about to go bad. I tried from multiple computers and got the same message.

I was able to get my data off the drive, and Amazon offered to happily replace it for me, but this is a dent in my opinion of the 1TB capacity model. I've had and distributed 10+ of these at work to people who need them, and none of those have ever skipped a beat, so I'm hoping this one was just a fluke in the 1TB model. I'll update again after I get the replacement tomorrow.

ITS A CRAP SHOOT - Failure after 4 uses

ByJoey Ron January 30, 2013

Size: 500 GBVerified Purchase

I treated with "kid gloves" and used this external drive for incremental backup images of my laptop computer. It operated a grand total of "4" times before it failed. Then the inevitable error messages, "disk not recognized", "disk not formatted", freezes, etc. routine took place. After verifying that it was not a result of a problem with my laptop, I new this clunker was a goner. Thank God it didn't fail when I actually needed it to restore my entire hard drive.
I don't care to hassle with Iomega technical or customer support to try and rectify this issue. They have already inconvenienced me and wasted enough of my valuable time. Its safe to say I won't be purchasing any more of their products...and to think we used to trust Iomega drives to store my company's CAD files.

The moral:
You don't need to spend a lot of time researching and pouring over reviews trying to decide which hardware device to purchase. Many of them contradict each other anyway. Just look at the various Amazon opinions on this item alone. I have been in this game for 25 years and nothing has changed. There may be some marginal advantage in buying the most popular devices being sold, but as a whole, you might be just as well off closing your eyes and pointing at your computer screen to make your device selections. Most electronic equipment is foreign made junk.

Enjoy my $70 donation, Iomega!

Great -- once it got going...

ByCraig H. Kinsleyon April 28, 2010

Size: 500 GBVerified Purchase

I purchased this Iomega external hard drive because of the convenience of having that much storage in such a small space. But it had to work like a thumb drive -- easily portable and transferable. Initially, it did not work as advertised, and I thought I had a defective unit. Amazon was its usual terrific self about replacements, and I received a new one quickly. This one, too, did not sync-up with any of the computers I use at work and home. Rather than send it back, I contacted Iomega support (who were quick and helpful), which walked me through a very complicated -- and not specified in the manual -- procedure involving having to name and partition the drive unit through "My Computer," which took, literally, six hours to complete. This is unacceptable. Iomega needs to set these drives up as plug-and-play, otherwise they are virtually useless. Now that it is re-formatted, however, the drive is working like a charm. But it was a pain in the neck for a while. So, be ready for the extra and unnecessary work. It is 2010; this should not be a difficult thing to do, Iomega.

Recommended little drive

ByAnonymouson September 6, 2010

Size: 500 GBVerified Purchase

This is a small, lightweight and attractive drive, true to pictures and description. No software is needed to use the drive; you can just plug & play and drag & drop like you would with a USB-stick. Iomega does offer the option to download different kinds of backup software from their website. I don't really like most of this software (too complicated, I don't feel like messing around learning how to use it), though Iomega's own program (Quikprotect) appeals to me most. Just tell it when you want to back up changed files, and you're good to go.

This is a truly portable drive, seeing as it fits in the palm of your hand, is completely USB-powered and runs super quietly. The drive comes with a special double-ended USB-cord, so one plug can function as the power supply while the others handles data transfer. I haven't needed to use both plugs, but I have anyway and didn't notice any difference in performance. Some would say the drive is sluggish, but I always use it in combination with a notebook computer, which also has a 5400rpm hard drive. I don't have numbers to back this up, but the drive does not perform (noticeably)slower than my laptop, which is good. I'd give this aspect four stars though, because sometimes I guess it could be 'zippier', especially when communicating with the Iomega software (... although this is probably due to the software, not the drive). I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could, because this drive also manages to keep the temperatures cool while it's running. So I guess it's a trade-off: a little speed for everything else.

It seems sturdy and durable enough, but I'd be afraid to drop it on, say, tiled or wooden flooring. I do throw it in my laptop bag 'naked' (without a sleeve or case) and it doesn't seem to care.

All in all, I'd recommend this drive. Still, I've noticed the price of this drive fluctuates a considerable amount, so keep an eye on it for a while before buying. While good, probably not so much better than the competition to be worth a couple of tenners more.
