5 out of 5 stars Fast Enough,Compact ,And Well Built...!.......2007-12-20

You wont' be sorry and is not cheaply made like many others...!

5 out of 5 stars Works with my MacBook Pro over Firewire just fine.......2007-12-14

My biggest worry in ordering this product was whether it would work without an additional power source (e.g., USB) over Firewire. Some reviews of other capacity Iomega drives had mentioned this as an issue with their computers.

I have the 15" 2.2 GHz MacBook Pro and it powers this drive just fine over the Firewire port, even when the MacBook Pro is running off battery.

The other question I had was whether the drive came with cables--it does, both a USB and a Firewire cable are included.

The included Firewire cable is obscenely long (3 or 4') to use on a lap tray on an airplane, so I will shop around for a 1' cable.

I cannot comment on the reliability, but the speed seems reasonable for a laptop drive, and it works for what I need. The Iomega name does not ring the sound of quality in my ear (having had a number of Zip drives in the day), but I figured I'd take the chance. So far so good!

2 out of 5 stars Has some shortcomings.......2007-12-08

I'm sure the product is fine as far as the disk is concerned, no problems so far.

However I chose this one because of the firewire, not realizing that my laptop has a non-powered firewire port. Didn't know the distinction as I've never really used firewire to any extent. That much is my fault. Read up on firewire at wikipedia before you choose a firewire product and check the ports on the equipment to which you intent to connect it.

However, I have a couple of problems with this product. The selector switch on top protrudes and seems fragile. If it had come with a padded sleeve like my old 20gb pocketec it would have been a better deal. There's really no excuse for a product like this not to come with a padded sleeve to protect it.

Going again, I would choose this product.

5 out of 5 stars Exactly as advertised.......2007-11-29

It will take me longer to write this brief review than it did to connect the drive to a USB port on the BookEndz dock attached to my MacBook and begin backing up the hard drive with SuperDuper. To somebody whose first computer was an IBM Convertible in the 1980s, the simplicity of today's technology never ceases to be amazing. The drive has performed flawlessly for more than a month, running 18-plus hours daily, seven days a week. The only improvement would be the addition some sort of protective slip case so I could carry the drive on client visits instead of lugging the laptop.

Since I cannot give it a zero, I gave it a one. I Purchased one of these drives for me and my wife. Hers broke a month after teh warranty of a year expired. I called them, they said it is a fatal error and it has happened to other people,because it was over a year they will not do anything about it.
