5 out of 5 stars Worked Perfect with iMac   January 6, 2009
Plugged the drive into my iMac 10.5.6 Leopard .... Drive popped up on desktop ..... Open TimeMachine which formatted drive and was backing up in a matter of a minute ..... Worked perfect - going to order a couple more at this price!

Smiles,
Ansel



5 out of 5 stars Great Product... Backing Up Not So Easy!   January 3, 2009
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Well i got this product in the freezing cold weather. Hooked it up thinking it would not work until it warmed up... BUT IT WORKED! So I Hooked it up and in the box they had a free software. I Tried it... It would not back up anything...Still wont! So That is the only thing im not happy about.

Great Product!



5 out of 5 stars A great way to add memory   January 3, 2009
This external hard drive is both pc and mac compatible. It's reasonably priced and takes a lot of burden off my laptop hard drives. It's fast, quiet, and amazingly small.


5 out of 5 stars A great product.   January 2, 2009
I bought this product one month ago based on the good reviews from amazon.com. So far it works great. The following are those I like.

1. This external hard drive works quietly. It seems that there is no fan to cool the hard drive, maybe b/c the hard drive does not generate much heat or the heat was dispersed through the alumimium shell quickly.

2. There is an on/off switch at the back of the hard drive, which is very helpful. I had bad experience to leave my old external hard drive on for very long time (it did not have an on/off switch), resulting the breakdown of the hard drive and losing all data (Hope this will never happen to you).

3. Price is great.



1 out of 5 stars A Disappointing Waste of Money   January 2, 2009
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this hard drive in November 2008 but didn't actually take it out of the box until late December. Less than a week after unboxing it, I turned it on only to have it start spinning uselessly. My computer wouldn't recognize it as anything but a malfunctioning USB device and following the troubleshooting steps on the Iomega website got me nowhere. Support is annoying at best; I dislike using online chats for support (the only free option) and phone calls run $25 per incident. Email isn't available at all. It's ridiculous. It's particularly frustrating as the data on the hard drive is now lost to me, some of which can't be replaced, even if the hard drive is.

This is my first experience with an external hard drive. I only wish it had been a better one. As it stands now, I can't recommend this drive to anyone, especially as other reviews indicate that I'm not the only one with this problem. Look elsewhere for reliability.
