great portable drive, October 29, 2009
By KB from Omaha, NE

"I have an older 120G and upgraded to a 500G. Both drives were simple plug-n-play. Neither has ever given my a problem. If you want them to use NFS you'll have to convert them yourself, it took about 15 min. for the 500G. Being USB powered was a must for use with my laptop. Great drives for the money."

Great Laptop Backup Device, October 19, 2009
By SCIFMAN from Denver, CO

"I've had IOMEGA and others in our lab. This original 100 GB product is the best. Had it almost a year. We have critical DOD data and this can be used as a external drive but I use it as a backup and deployment device. The same drive works seemlessly on all our laptops and Desktops across all Windows OS levels and that now includes Windows 7. The only Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade from Vista that went flawlessly was on Toshiba Laptops. Don't even try to Updgrade Windows seven on a "Quad Core Desktop Vista Machine""

"Hard drive I have is similar to this one. Worked good for first 6 months, then became sensitive and ejected itself from my computer automatically. There was no help from the website. Only choice was to send it in (I have to pay for shipping)."

Good External Hard Drive, September 11, 2009
By jrm523 from Savannah, GA

"This usb external hard drive is very easy to use. Decent transfer rates and it runs quietly. I have had very few but some compatibility issues with recognizing the hard drive but this problem has not happened enough to blame the hard drive. Be sure to shop around to get a good deal."
