 Solid Product (So far) August 31, 2008

I've had the Prestige for a little over 2 weeks now. It works great.
-There's No annoying software (like my friend's WD Mybook)
-Runs super quiet
-I've had it on for hours at a time and it only gets a little warm
-It's got a cool stand
-It has a power switch
I've been very impressed thus far and would highly recommend this hard drive. Only downside is its actually about 465 gigs, but most hard drives are like that. The reason I say so far is externals seem to be prone to crashing if you read reviews. Hopefully it lasts forever though.
Again, Sweet hard drive.
Great Replacement for Bad WD September 30, 2008

My first external hard drive was a WD500, but two months after the warranty expired, so did the hard drive. It is now in my trash bin. I talked over the possible reasons for its early demise and it came down to the drive is always on, which could easily burn it out. The Iomega has an on/off switch, so I only have to turn it on when it is time to back up the computer. I think this may be a much better design and will give it a longer life.

I just need a solid drive to backup my files, music and pictures. This one suits the bill just fine. I do not use any back-up software, so I cannot vouch for the one you can download from Iomega. I just drag the My Documents folder from my laptop over to the external hard drive icon and all my stuff gets copied. I bought this one on the strength of earlier reviews and have not been disappointed. Mine has been quiet and has not shown any heating problems. I may even buy another.

After 2 1/2 years battling with a SimpleTech unit, which refused to stay connected, I decided to buy a replacement HD to keep my 10,000+ photos. After doing some research, I chose this unit and I must say that so far, I am very happy with it. My Dell recognized it right away. The unit is quiet and access is very fast. I certainly recommend it.
Plugged it in and it worked September 18, 2008

So far, I am extremely pleased with this purchase. It was delivered ahead of the promised delivery date and all I had to do was plug it in. I did re-format it to NTSF fromat but I have had no problems with it at all.
