 Buen Producto July 24, 2008
fabrizio chavarria rodriguez (Miami, Florida United States)
El disco es bueno, no hace mucho ruido y comodo de precio. Para tener 500gb es una ganga !
Silencioso y sencillo July 24, 2008
Jose Duarte
Es un buen disco duro. No se porque lo critican de ruidoso, si apenas se escucha. La carcaza es de plastico pero las dos tapas laterales grandes son de aluminio. La luz que parpadea es azul.
El sistema lo reconoce como disco duro de inmediato y le asigna su propia papelera de reciclaje.
Lo compre por el precio y por el tamano. Tambien es de mejor apariencia que los modelos parecidos.
Importante: Si usa Windows Vista/XP/2000 es recomendable formatearlo en NTSF porque el formato FAT32 que trae no permite grabar archivos mayores a 4 Gb.
Para alargar la vida util del disco le recomiendo utilizarlo solo como respaldo de datos. No lo deje conectado innecesariamente.
 Avoid this company! July 22, 2008

Don't waste your time and money on this company! I purchased this hard drive so that I could have a safe place to store a copy of the information on my computer. The drive worked fine for a couple of months, and then began to make loud clicking noises. In addition, it took my computer a long time (an hour or more) to recognize that the drive was attached, and backing up took more than 24 hours. I contacted Iomega on-line (you can't call them unless you pay $25 or have paid extra for a service plan) and had to engage in a slow and tedious chat session. All they could offer to do was to replace the drive. I did this, and now after 2 months this new (refurbished) drive is acting the same way. I contacted Iomega again and asked to return the drive for a credit so I could try a different product, and was told all they could do was to send me the identical drive with a 90 day warranty. I find this company and their products a huge disappointment.
Very reliable seller. I am fully satisfied. July 18, 2008

A bit of the good, bad, and ugle July 17, 2008
belenday (Pleasanton, CA United States)
The good: it arrived quickly - even the replacement. It connected in just a few minutes. Transferred 20GB of data quickly and easily. I think it is compact, easy to use, and a good value. So far the replacement is working fine.
The bad: Next day, my PC couldn't recognize it. Sent it back for a replacement. As a side irk, the replacement doesn't always allow for a normal USB device disconnect - noting that it is busy even though there isn't any software or device creating a connection at that time.
The ugly: when I contacted Iomega, after trying to run multiple fixes with them (over an hour), the person sarcastically said it was a Windows problem and I needed to contact Microsoft. They couldn't do anything and did not know what happened saying - "it is a plug and play device and if it doesn't work, then its a problem with Windows." So why even try to run fixes! Microsoft said it was an Iomega issue. So, I sent it back.
