 Great Backup Drive January 8, 2009
This drive is exactly what I needed. It has a pretty quick speed and plenty of room to backup all my pics & files. Does get a little warm after I transferred about 70GB of files, but nothing to worry about because it doesn't get "hot" as others have mentioned about other external HD's. I have XP and was easy to hook up and use. I didn't download the free backup software because I was only backing up my regular files (no system files) and just wanted those files on the drive. Does have a power cord in addition to the USB cable, but was not an issue for me because I only use periodically and store in box when not using. Very happy with Amazon as usual. Best price I could find and free shipping. Received the drive within a few days which was great.
so far so good January 7, 2009

external hard drive January 7, 2009
This product arrived in great time and i have been fully satisfied with this product. It works great and i recommend it to others.
 Not as compatible as advertised January 7, 2009
I tried three different disks (three of Iomega 500gb USB, not three different kinds) on my various Macs and obtained varying results on my different Mac computers. Once plugged in, most times the computer did not find the disk. It would start to spin, then stop. Other times, the disk icon appeared for a while then disappeared. One disk did not work with my brand new macbook pro. The other two did and they allowed me to format them appropriately. When I plugged them into my P5 iMacs with Leopard on them, they were not found at all. I returned all three for a refund. I need more reliability than that and needed them to back up my computers. I have since purchased Western Digital "My Books", which work flawlessly and nearly silently with the above named computers. These Iomega disks don't seem hardy or reliable enough as back up disks as opposed to Iomega disks I purchased in the past.
Works exactly as advertised! January 6, 2009
Bought this as a backup device, the biggest selling point for me was the "Power" switch as I have read that other backup devices are "always on", and that leads to premature failure.
No complaints at all so far.
