Iomega UltraMax 500 GB Desktop Hard Drive November 17, 2008

There were no instructions included with this hard drive, and so it is sitting on the desk and my files are still not backed up. I'm waiting for my IT daughter to visit so she can set it up. Disappointing.

A perfect hard drive for any mac user! November 13, 2008
S. Buck (Texas)
This external hard drive is amazing, at first when I saw the box I was like 'Holy crap, there is no way there's a hard drive in there with a 500 GB storage. It is tiny! In my opinion I would have liked it a tiny bit bigger and chunkier but because of the size it is very portable. The firewire could not have been faster. Regularly it would take me 5-10 minutes just to put a couple of songs onto my mac HD. This took 20 min to put my massive collection of 4300 songs! It is extremely quite, sometimes I forgot it's even there. When you are using it there is a blue light that turns on but a white light that always is on. The firewire cable is pretty short but I am fine with it. It is funny how similar it looks to the mac pro. A nice stand comes with it which fits the hard drive perfectly. A perfect hard drive for any mac user!

Iomega UltraMax 500 GB November 5, 2008
Alfred Tipsword (Central Point, OR USA)
I received a Iomega UltraMax 500 GB hard drive from Amazon. It was connected to a Apple MacBook running Time Machine.
It started running just fine. But after four hours if failed. It was tried in both FW 400 & USB modes on several computers but would not connect. Amazon was contacted and they sent a replacement at no charge, arriving in 3 days.
The replacement unit has been working now for about one month and is working excellent.

Thanks much to Amazon for there excellent assistance..

Reliable, quiet drive which happens to look great. I had problems with other brands involving data loss and unpredictable response. No problems with the three UltraMax 500 drives I own.

I've been running this Iomega for over a month with no problems. I love the plug in and play with my macbook! I'd give it 5 stars except it hasn't withstood the test of time yet for me.
