While it worked.

For the month or so that my hard drive actually worked, the transfer rates were terrible. I didn't run any scientific comparisons, but it was significantly slower than any other external hard drive.

And then it stopped working.

The worst type of device to fail is a hard drive. Even if a computer fails, you can always go out and get another one and you'r in business. I used the drive for a bit more than a month to back up some pictures and data. Luckily I keep two backups.

Follow up:
After several exchanges, Iomega sent me a newer model which I'm using as my primary backup. Their support staff deserve 5 stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars it was working fine for 2 years and then suddenly one day it ...
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2015
it was working fine for 2 years and then suddenly one day it started making noises. It was not moved or dropped. I immediately turned it off. Same noise persisted after turning it on. Then I tried to connect it to my laptop but it was not recognized and after that, it even stopped turning on. I have 2 others older hard disks and they are working fine even today. Luckily I had back up. I will suggest not to buy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Biggest Fault Easily Corrected!!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2014
Bought drive and used once. When I went to use it again it was dead. After much frustration, I was able to pop the top off with a screwdriver by prying around groove in the sides. I found that no screws held the interior drive to the USB2 circuit board and it had slipped loose from the connections. Pushed it back on to the connections and it worked great and noiseless. Put cardboard inside to keep the back of the internal drive pushed up, and it has worked flawlessly ever since. This seems to be a great flaw in this drive that Iomega never recognized or just chose to neglect. Too bad, because otherwise it seems the best drive they made. And easily corrected as I found out!!!

I absolutely love this hard drive. I have 2 of them because of my demand for videos and audio. I formatted it and away I went. I filled the first one up and now I'm starting on the other one. Amazon has the best price on it as well. I bought my first one from tigerdirect.com and it was somewhere in the neighborhood of $130. But, even with that, that's not a bad price for a compact usb driven external hard drive. That's cheap but, if you're like me, you want quality without being out of too much bread. So, thanks Amazon for your low prices. Better than Wal-Mart. Especially for someone overseas like myself. Hope this helps some how.

1.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE of cheap Hard Drives holding your precious data!
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2011
Bought the drive 6 months ago as a backup for my audio sessions. I backed up about 200GB of data and put it away in the box in a safe place. 6 months later, the drive was dead. Nothing was spinning only a blue light that showed the power was on. I only used the thing once! Thank god I had a second backup on an external Western Digital HD. Data recovery (if they can even retrieve it) is very expensive. Not going to skimp on my next drive!

Love it. Still using it. I have several Iomega external drives - So far this brand along w/ Western Digital are the only two brands I will buy when it comes to external hard drives. It's always a great buy when you buy and Iomega!

5.0 out of 5 stars For the price, this is a great external drive!
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2011
I bought 2 of these drives w/o any previous info on Iomega external hard drives. These have worked out beautifully w/o any flaws or problems. I use these to back-up internal HD's, audio storage, and store movies in case I break a disc or they get scratched or cracked.
I own and use Western Digital, Buffalo, Seagate, and now these Iomega external drives. My WinXP recognized them immediately w/o any special drivers. Hook up the power supply and the USB connector (which is supplied with the unit) and you are ready to go.
I transferred over 700 GB's from one of my 1 TB drives (since it was almost full) to this unit and then tested the transferred data to verify it's integrity and everything worked perfectly. The worst part was having to 'wait' for the transfer... So I set up the computer to "hibernate" when finished and went to bed. The next morning I brought it out of hibernation and checked the transfer and every file exactly matched the original.
Like any high precision electronic equipment, they need to be handled delicately for longevity and to function properly. Only time will tell how long these drives will last, but ALL (9) of my external HD's work perfectly and some are over 6 yrs old. I paid about $90 each for these drives and plan on buying more. I do a lot of video and music editing and these are great for data storage.
If ANY hard drive starts making strange sounds during operation or start up... That's the time to buy & transfer the data to a new unit. One last thing, when my ext. drives are not needed, I power them down to extend their life.
Hope this has helped.
