Works great, except for the fatal flaw... July 31, 2010 CHRISTOPHER SMITH This drive seems to either get five star ratings saying it works great or one star ratings saying it dies and takes all its data with it.
I can vouch for both.
The drive works great; its quiet, fast, plugs in and works as advertised with no fuss.
Mine worked for about a year before it died.
The heart of these external drives is a Seagate Barracuda hard drive (at least mine, a 500gb, was. Iomega could well switch suppliers). Seagate is usually a good brand, but this particular drive shipped with an error in the firmware on the little circuit board that controls the drive. When certain conditions are randomly met it just stops working. Could be after a week, like some people here, or after a year, like me.
Fortunately there is a DIY solution out there on the internet for these drives. Since the controller board just needed to be reset, I was able to get my drive and files back for $9 worth of electronics parts. However, it is pretty technical and not for amateurs or the faint of heart.
I gave it three stars because when it works, it works great at a great price. But Iomega should have released a firmware update when Seagate announced the problem with their drives (Seagate offers an update for its own branded drives). They should also offer to fix bricked drives for free, since faulty manufacturing is responsible.
Lots of storage at a convenient price July 26, 2010 Soto Santiago Juan Carlos (Guatemala) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Pros
+ Low price (on sale).
+ Sturdy and professional case.
+ Samsung HD.
+ Warranty service.
Cons
+ It's not "usb powered" as the technical specification states.
+ A little noisy on init.
Failed After 15 months!! July 25, 2010 John Clabaugh (Salkum, WA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This drive was great while it worked. I had no problems using it across multiple platforms. This morning the unit stopped working. I took it apart and tested the components, and discovered that it is the Seagate HD inside that failed. Just three months after the warranty expired.
Fortunately I have several layers of redundancy in my backup storage system, so I have all the data on another drive. But a hard drive should definitely last longer than 15 months.
I am never buying a product from Iomega or Seagate again.
Piece of Junk July 25, 2010 ryan_c_scott Had the drive for a month. Put all my stuff on it off of my computer so I could reinstall my entire computer. All files transferred successfully. Used it a couple more time. When I got my PC fixed.....plugged drive in and it was fried. No excuse for this. All of my data, songs, pictures from the last 2 years....gone. $250-$1600 to get the data off of the drive. IOmega will replace it for free since its under warranty.....but they will not help getting the data off.
Easy Install - poor software for backup July 25, 2010 Robert D. Reinhardt Drive is a snap to install - backup software download not easily found. Software not very flexible and somehow took control of another external drive's settings for backup. Will discontinue use of the backup software.
