What more do you want? I like it August 2, 2008 So I wanted a big external HD. It has to be reliable. It is quiet. I've used it to transfer 100s of gigs. It is reliable, NOT slow. I'm a power user..AND I like this. Tom
works but loud July 31, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
just like many others have stated the drive works just fine but is pretty loud. and big. due to the noise i will buy another brand next time.
does exactly what it is supposed to do July 28, 2008 I bought this drive six months ago as a backup device. It installed fine straight out of the box (on a PC), and hasn't given me any trouble since. It just sits there, shines its blue light and - works. I don't consider it particularly noisy either.
Not worth it July 19, 2008 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
The price is tempting, but the drive rarely mounts on a Mac. I tried to use it for Time Machine but when I turn it on and the Mac boots up, I always get a prompt that the computer does not recognize the Drive and that I should format it. I should have gone for the Western Digital. Oh well...
Solid performance, but... June 6, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've had no performance problems so far; it's relatively fast. However, while the drive is Mac compatible, it isn't automatically so, out of the box. I had to hunt through the support pages at the Iomega site to find instructions on how to repartition for Mac compatibility. It's not brand new on the market; I'd have though Iomega might have included info about repartitioning for Mac by now.
