Reliable, a bit heavy but good looks November 18, 2008
Samir Damle (Virginia)
I know, I know - your Western Digital's Passport is quite lighter than my Iomega. It's also less bulkier. But mine looks pretty with the steel casing ends and the metallic color. OK, I confess - I bought this one because it was cheaper ($88) than Passport - happy?

But yeah - this is quite reliable, no problems in the past month that I have used it. Alright - I understand, a month's time is pretty short to know if it's going to be my friend for long. But at least today we're going smooth.

Also, since my 250GB buddy's 'portable,' it means it does not need an AC adapter to run it - it just runs on USB. So make sure when you choose your buddy, it is a 'portable hard drive' and not just 'external hard drive'.

The free (I like the sound of 'free') backup software from EMC is good too. Very simple to take automatic backups. Ting! But remember that it backs up in a single data file. So you cannot browse the folders within the backed up data file in Windows Explorer. If you want to frequently access the files on the hard drive (e.g. songs, pictures, documents), you should copy them directly using Windows Explorer instead of the backup software.

OK - so in short - get this one if you consider looks more than smaller size. That will save you a few bucks for your coffee too.

Can't Recommend It November 18, 2008

Have you ever had that feeling when you open up a very high quality product that you have complete confidence in it and you made a good decision getting it?
Well, this one is just the opposite. As soon as I opened the box and saw that the included USB cable would not work, I had a sinking feeling about the drive.
I've got a Mac laptop with a USB port on each side. The distance between the included drive is about 5 inches. No way it is going to work. Iomega should know better and send a cable that reaches both ports. Seagate includes such a cable. Minus 2 stars.
I'd suggest buying a better brand.
I borrowed a cable to see if the drive would fire up. It did, but it only has 298 GB of space. The box said 320 GB. Losing over 20 GB is a significant loss. Minus one more star.
I'd suggest buying from a more reliable company.

Pretty Good November 18, 2008
B. Haus (LA, CA)
This is a cool little harddrive. I really like the portable aspect and the fact that you don't have to plug it into anything but the USB port and it's good to go. I use it to hold external old files and it's handling them nicely. Compatible with my MacbookPro June07. The only problem I have with this harddrive is that it occasionally disconnects itself.

Great Product November 17, 2008
Joseph White
This product was as it was advertised. Came in very nice packaging, delivery was timely & worked as described. I want to reformant my hard drive with out losing all of my music & photos.

This proved to be an ecnmomical & convenient way to back up my data.

Rugged. Reliable. But I wanted it for my XBOX 360 November 16, 2008
Jonathan C. Lippe (Pembroke Pines, FL USA)
This thing feels strong and reliable. However, I bought it hoping it would work with my XBOX 360 and it doesn't. But that's okay. I've repurposed it for something else and bought another hard drive. Everything worked out in the end - but it would've been nice for this to work in my XBOX 360 for videos and pictures and music.

It's got that double ended USB plug - so depending on how you feel about that you should know. I have Western Digital drives that are the same capacity that only have one USB - again whatever your preference.

But this sucker feels tough - so I trust that my data is secure on it.
