Iomega Prestige 320 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive 34342 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The product is exactly as described and shipped very quickly (with regular ups shipping it arrived next day).I am extremely pleased with the overall transaction and quality of the product.I would recommend it.One issue that was addressed by a few users is very valid, this is the usb cable not fitting into the back of the drive well.It will become unmounted, fall out or not be recognized if the drive is bumped or nudged at all.To compensate for this I shaved off about a mm of the plastic around the male connector piece that inserts into the back of the HD and the fit is now excellent.You can practically hold it upside down by the cord and it will not come unplugged.

My Book Essential Edition 2.0 WDH1U10000 - Hard drive - 1 TB - external - Hi-Speed USB - buffer: 16 MB Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Paired with Apple's Time Machine backup software (which is part of the current OS X.5 operating system), backup are a breeze!I bought this to use with my MacBook which lives in the living room most of the time but does move around.When I want to run a backup, I just plug in the USB cable from the hard drive to my Mac and the rest is automatic.If you would be using this with a desktop model, you could leave it connected all the time. I just hook it up every few days and it backs up everything that's changed on my computer.(Also, part of the great thing about Time Machine is that it keeps more than just the most recent backup.It keeps all the past backups as well until you start running out of space.)

Also, this drive is whisper quiet which is great since I keep it in the living room.Don't notice it at all!
