Okay, quick look on the net – http://www.pricewatch.com/, and I see USB hard drives with 40GB of space for under $60. Why buy it from Iomega for more?
You aren’t taking into account Iomega’s value-added features, such as slower transfer rates, propietary software interfaces, and generally shoody construction. When you do, you can see they have the clear advantage.

IOMEGA really SUCKS because they don’t care that customer’s are left with useless backup devices – PERIOD.

Once, during the second lengthy chat with Iomega service/support I asked to tell me the technical specifications of the power supply adapter that comes with Iomega 500 gb prestige hard drive. The answer is, of course logically perfect: “Don’t worry sir. You will get the one you need.” You ask “which one do I need? The one I already have does not work” They say: “You need the one that comes with the Iomega hard drive”. The horse needs to have ears that come with this horse. If you ask for specifications you will hear that Iomega representatives have access to this information. They do. You don’t. And it is not in their interests to present this information because in this case their fault is un-concealable.
Of course, they know better than the customers what the customers need. Nevertheless, Iomega hard drives die without notification after a week of working.

Hate Iomega, overpriced pieces of crap. They don’t support the legacy products and all their products have slow transfer and write speeds compared to rivals. Can’t believe anyone wastes their money on their inferior garbage. The company sucks as badly as their products.

I took everything Iomega in my house and threw it in the trash. I experienced the same “gotta pay $25.00 to even talk to us” and they didn’t even fix the problem any of the times I called. Glutton for punishment I guess.
We must pass the word to others about this bunch of bums. -
my stupid iomega piece of shit doesn’t work for crap. it will load up and maybe work for 10-15 minutes max. then it will just turn into shit and die. what a pile of total crap. anyone have any better suggestions for external drivers?
