This is the fourth Iomega external hard drive that I have purchased. Two are in use by other family members and this is my second - one for each computer. I have been extremely pleased in every case with the appearance, performance, and reliability of the Iomega external drives. They are very quiet and cool when operating. I do not leave them on constantly since they are used for backup and often are removed from the computer area for safety purposes. I would strongly recommend the Iomega drives.

Overall, this drive works well. Great construction, good looks, and quiet drive. I bought this to store all my data when upgrading to Win7. Bad news was that my OS wouldn't boot if the drive was hooked up and on. The boot sequence would stall until I flipped the power off on the drive (GREAT feature by the way - a power switch - most ext HDs don't have that). Then the boot sequence would continue and I could turn the drive right back on. I've got a new Dell that's less than a year old. Not sure why this is a problem. Tried finding the "legacy usb" option to turn off in the BIOS, but it's not in the dell bios. This could be a Dell problem, but I haven't been able to experiment with a different brand HD. Great drive, but watch out for compatibility with Dell desktops.

The drive installed very easily, and worked well and silently.
For about 30 days.
Then it died.
The iomega people sent me a replacement, very simply, except when it arrived, the box had been broken into and the drive stolen.
The backup software is hard to get to on their site, and is hard to use.
I might have just had bad luck...
