5 out of 5 stars Iomega External Hard Drive   March 9, 2010
Kristina Leigh Markman (Columbia, MD USA)
I've been really happy so far with the external hard drive. I never needed to use any instructions for it, it's totally self explanatory, and the MAC does everything for you anyway. Right before Christmas, my hard drive on the Macbook Pro crashed, it was a manufacturers error or something, but I lost my entire graphic design portfolio since the data recovery center wasn't able to do anything about it. So I needed a hard drive so it wouldn't happen again. This was the very best deal, it was rated the most favorably, and it was the most cost effective. It's 500G for only about 70 dollars, and it works great. The only problem that I could see with it is it's not exactly portable....I mean obviously you can transport it around but its a bit big to carry around all the time to and from class or work or something. That's OK with me though, I just leave it on my desk and plug it in to back up my work in the evenings.

John T. Robertson Sr. (corpus christi tx)
I am 80 yrs old and was talked into the 21 century by my kids to get a computer and all the goodies that go with it. Since then i have learned a little but am still dumb founded at al the new stuff i really need to have, or think i do. Since i had never had a need or didnt think i did i had never backed up the data on my computer. One of my kids strongly suggested that i get an external hard drive, just in case.
I was proud of the fact that I was able to follow the instructions and got the data back up done. The price was right and the ease of operation was excellent.
I havent really been able to judge this product yet as i have only used the backup one time. That is why i only gave it an average rating.
But i'm sure i willbe satisfied withit to rotect me from hackers or a crashed PC if it ever happens



1 out of 5 stars Crashed after three months   March 8, 2010
Tamara Mady (MN)
This drive is priced nicely; unfortunately, I wound up with a lemon, because after only 3 months it started making a lot of noise and then just stopped working. On top of losing almost one TB of stuff, you have to pay $25 just to get their customer service number!

I would not recommend dealing with this company.



2 out of 5 stars Does not work with Airport exreme   March 7, 2010
Nils Janson (Seattle, wa United States)
This drive was not recognized by my Airport Extreme. It worked with my macbook pro but the Airport Extreme would not mount the disk. After searching the internet is was evident that it's a common problem. Either Iomega or Apple has any solution.


1 out of 5 stars STAY AWAY. CRASHED IN 5 MONTHS   March 5, 2010
J. Bogen
The title says it all. I loved it while it worked. Too bad it only worked for 5 months. Do not buy this product.
