Iomega UltraMax 34495 Hard Drive eSATA/FireWire 800/FireWire 400/USB 2.0 1.5TB Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The drive offers a lot of potability with the 3 interface options, particularly the eSATA for speed.That makes a little better use of the 7,200rpm drive.

I have owned 12 Iomega drives over the years, and 2 have failed.Both had the interface adapter fail, and not the drive itself.When I pulled the drives, they worked fine when directly connected to the PC internal connectors.Some of these devices have been running continuously for the past 5 years providing daily backups in a scripted rotation sequence.

I haven't had any trouble with this device and I was pleased that it did not have any of the fan or drive noise so many have complained about.Those that complained about the heat should put an external fan source to keep air flowing around the enclosure.

One complaint though - it came formatted for a MAC.It would have been nice to have a choice of formatting available when purchasing the device.This was a time consuming first setup because I never use the quick format option.This was what kept the device from being rated a 5.

Can't wait for USB 3.0!
