Iomega Portable Hard Drive USB 2.0, 160GB (33600) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a digital designer by trade, and I've owned seven different portable and external hard drives over the last eight years. I've purchased three Iomega drives, including this model, which I've had to reformat several times due to the drive failing. Of course, reformatting erases all the data on the drive, so my frustration with this product has been lengthy. All three of the Iomega drives I've owned have died within 12 months of purchase. Just about ten minutes ago my third and final Iomega drive, this one, started making a familiar clicking sound. I know that it is also about to die, so I hopped online to locate a replacement as fast as possible. I currently own two Maxtor drives and one Seagate. The Maxtor drives were purchased long before I purchased two of the three Iomega drives that I've owned, and the Maxtors are much more heavily used than the Iomega drives. Yet, all three of the Iomega drives are now dead, but the Maxtors are still going strong. I can no longer recommend any Iomega hard drive. After years of giving them another chance I have now sworn off of Iomega drives forever. I plan to buy a Western Digital drive. The reviews are good and the 120 GB drive (at the time of this writing) is only $89. Save yourself some frustration and don't purchase this product.

Cisco-Linksys WMP54GR Wireless-G PCI Adapter with RangeBooster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)ROCK SOLID reliability, superb performance. You can also add better antennas to the card (it takes a reverse sma connector) to boost the range even further. If you need some extra distance or you are "punching" through walls or between stories of a house, this cant be beat. The perfect match for you wrt54gl router that has the wrt dd firmware update. A FREE firmware update that makes your 50 dollar router like a commercial class router. Most of us don't need the speed of "N" series routers and the combination of firmware update and better antenna gives you almost the same range for alot less money.
