Review: Seems Like A Decent Drive

I've had no problems with this drive. It accesses and transfers files quickly and it runs fairly quietly. I can play video directly from it without a hitch.

It does begin to grow warm after running for an extended period. However, it can be easily switched off when not in use, which mitigates that problem to some extent. It doesn't seem as though the heat will cause any trouble, given adequate care.

One downside: while the drive is plug-and-play as advertised, it's formatted in FAT. If you're running Windows, you'll probably want to reformat it to NTFS.

Review: Works As Advertised

Iomega Desktop Hard Drive 500 GB Hi-Speed USB 2.0 External Hard Drive - 33654This product is being used with a home computer that is used for making greeting cards and storing pictures, primarily of family events and scenes from various vacations. Many of the memory consuming pictures have been transferred to this product and it has worked well during the six weeks we have owned it. In use, it does become a bit warm as indicated by other reviewers, but this does not seem to be excessive and until now it works as advertised. [↑]
