    3 out of 5 stars Hard Drive Dead on Arrival   November 22, 2008
    G. Migaki (Campbell, CA United States)
    Received the Iomega drive opened box and set it up. The hard drive was not recognizeable by my notebook. I contacted Iomega support via online chat which is their only free support option and I spent 30 min. troubleshooting the situation. Support Tech determined it was an Iomega product problem. Had to box up the harddrive and mail it ($6.00 shipping) to Iomega support. Several days later they sent me a replacement refurb unit. Seems to be working fine now. Hoping it lasts for the long term.


    5 out of 5 stars Great drive compared to a similar Lacie   November 22, 2008
    Mark Edwards
    Well I bought this drive after the Lacie I had originally bought kept getting I/O errors when used on an iMac with Time Machine. I repartitioned the drive twice and also did a disk test which all came out fine, but after approx 5 days of use each time the Lacie would hang. I suspected a "sleep" issue since the I/O errors always coincided with it sleeping.
    Anyway, after checking the Web site for IOMega which assured me that ALL their drives were iMac/Time Machine compatible I bought this. First thing I noticed was how quiet the drive was compared to the Lacie. The Lacie I had to hide behind the desk, it was that loud. This drive sits behind my iMac and although you do hear a little disk noise it really is negligible. The other important thing is that its worked perfectly with Time Machine for the last month, without any errors. Does exactly what it was bought for.
    One last thing. The build quality was phenomenal compared to the Lacie I bought. Nice metal like casing that matches the iMac nicely. Nice solid feel to it. And to top it all it WAS CHEAPER than the Lacie.

    Those who want to use this drive for iMac should SERIOUSLY consider this!



    5 out of 5 stars Thus far, been great!   November 20, 2008

    Its an external hard drive, and theres not much that I expected out of it except to back up my computer incrementally....and It does so successfully. Very sleek design, solid feeling, and hopefully long lasting! Great deal for the price!

    I got it about a month ago and am getting another one. You don't have to install anything and it boots up quickly. Simply plug in USB & turning on the switch is all it takes. Fits nicely next to hard drive. The design is simple and clean. Heats up fast, but then it IS an external hard drive.Iomega Prestige 500 GB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive 34270
