Works great August 15, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The drive was recognized immediately by all of the computers that I use. The transfer rate is very fast and I have heard nothing from the drive when it is operating. There was an earlier complaint about it being noisy, but my drive is very quite.
Features that I wish it had ---
1 - It has to be manually shut off when turning off the computer.
2 - There is no backup software provided.
Outside of these issues, it works perfect.

I was skeptical because of the review that reported noise, but since I had intended it for backup and not active use, I figured the price was good for the purpose. It turned out better than expected.
Out of the box, the drive is aesthetically pleasant, with a sleek stainless steel finish, and a cool blue light when it's operating. Setup was super easy, true plug-and-work with no need for reading instructions if you know how to use your own computer. The drive was found right away and worked easily complementary to my system and other drives. It fit right in with my work area, even improving the general look of the desk because of its nice vertical holder.
As for the "noise" reported by another commenter, there is none on the device I received. In fact it is quieter than my 250GB WD MyBook, takes up less space, looks better, and provides faster movement of data. One neat feature is an on-off switch (the WD does not have this), so I can turn it off while leaving it USB connected to the computer (instead of plugging it out whenever I'm done).
I am very happy with this purchase! I have backed up 400GB of movies on it, and plan to buy another one (my only regret is that I should have bought more storage space). I picture my DVD player replaced with a my two Iomega 500GB hard drives and a sleek laptop to send everything to my TV on command. It's a beautiful piece of equipment, and I have no complaints. I highly recommend this purchase. At under $100 and free shipping, it's a good bargain!

The Iomega drive is a vast improvement over the cheaper plastic drive I had previously -- both in quality and performance. The on/off switch and holding stand are nice touches. Very happy with my purchase (so far).

It took a while to get this but it is well worth it, It works great and runs without making noise. I'm using it to store karaoke songs,so far I have over 7,000 and only used 8% of the drive.When I seach for a song it comes up right away and plays great.Great deal for the price
