Good performance, ample storage.,

This review is from: Iomega 120 GB Desktop Hard Drive (32659) (Personal Computers)
The Iomega HDD 120GB offers solid performance and a great bundle, and would be suitable for multimedia developers, those in the graphics, video or audio industries, power users, or simply anyone who needs to move a lot of data around quickly.In my testing, I copied 10GB of files and folders from a PC to the drive in 8 min 1 sec.The drive weighs in at about 820g (1.8lbs) though, so it may not be something you want to haul around all the time - but to be fair, Iomega does advertise these as "desktop hard drives."If you want truly portable external storage products, Iomega also offers a range of lighter products that utilise notebook hard disks.Pros: Fast; quiet; lots of extras.Cons: Slightly expensive.

I highly recommend this product. I used the firewire connector and had everything set up in a few minutes. I use it to back up everything important; documents, e-mails, music, photos, videos, downloads, etc. The hard drive works flawlessly, and the Iomega Automatic Backup software is very simple to use. Just choose directories to back up then select backup methods (i.e., after files are changed, on a fixed schedule, etc.). This product also comes with Norton Ghost which I did not install. One nit-pick: the firewire cable inclued is only 3 ft. I needed 6 ft. and had to buy a replacement (6pin to 6pin, and they're not exactly cheap).

Great product, few nitpicks,

I did not buy this on Amazon but instead found it for $130 on another website. Unfortunately, I don't have USB 2.0, but the unit works fine and speedier than I expected on my USB 1.1. The only problems I had with this are the extremely bright blue led light that can get very annoying if it's in your line of site (i.e. if you use it with a laptop like me), and the slightly imperfect connections for the USB and power (the USB was a little difficult to get all the way in and the power felt a little loose). Otherwise it's a solid, quiet product that deserves the four stars I gave it.
