 Great For 6 Months November 17, 2007
22 out of 24 found this review helpful
This product stayed in my home at all times. It was never dropped, mishandled, or abused in any way. It worked great for the less than 6 months that I had it, and decided to suddenly stop working one day when I was downloading a podcast. I got a replacement cord for it, which helped momentarily, but it is dead for good now. I was luckily able to save a lot of the data that was on it when I had it momentarily working again, but my iTunes library is no more. I'm looking at alternate methods to recover my MP3s because Iomega charges you for extraction, even under warranty, and they won't even tell you how much until you send it back in. If you have it extracted elsewhere, there goes your warranty.
They will give you online tech support if you're under warranty, but will charge you $20 by phone for each incident. The website is also very hard to navigate.
I was extremely satisfied until it crapped out for no apparent reason. Even with the warranty, I don't want another one. I'd rather just get my data and get a product that will work.
 Great value....Better than expected... November 15, 2007

After reading some of the reviews, I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing, but bought anyway. I can tell you, the complaints I've seen on here were farthest from reality with what I received. Noisy? I can't even hear it. Overheating? Not mine. Plugged it right in, reformatted to NTFS, which took no time at all, and started backing up files. It was as simple as that. No problems, no noise, no overheating. Great looking brushed aluminum case. Probably the best value I've received on Amazon. If you're on the fence about purchasing, I'd say go for it. Consumer Reports ranks Iomega at the top for a reason. This drive is just another example of a great quality product at a good price.
UPDATE: Just purchased another one of these hard drives. Works perfect for use as an external drive to my DVR. HD movies require additional space as compared to Standard Definition movies. This drive works perfect for this application, especially considering the space available.

I found this hard drive to be all that I expected. It runs a little hot, so I would recommend using the stand that comes with it rather than placing it flat on a desktop. It is originally formatted FAT32, so I reformatted mine. As has been noted in other reviews, this drive does not come with any utility software.

The external hard drive works great. I chose Iomega because they received high marks in a Consumer Reports rating. I am not an experienced computer user so I wanted something that was easy to use and this is.
 Drive runs hot! November 10, 2007

Drive works ok but I was amazed by how hot the external case felt to the touch. I make sure I do not leave this drive un-supervised for fear of burning up!!
