I've got 21 iomega drives - I've been using them for years and I've never had a problem - though a contract employee of mine said one of his died. (He actually just shipped it to me and yep - it's dead.) I just bought my first 1TB drive and I'm psyched. I'm using it to back up my old, lower-capacity drives. It seems as solid as the others. I'm going to fit all the video and projects on my first six drives onto one drive now! It's smaller than any of the others, too - as far as external physical dimensions. They got the dimensions wrong on this site - it's 8 x 4.5 x 1.25. It's awesome. I'm a pro video producer and now thanks to these drives (and a smokin' laptop) I'll be super-portable. I think I'll wind up with everything on 4 or 5 of these now. Killer product. I love these things.
Cheap, small, huge storage! November 22, 2008

I stopped using Iomega products several years ago (remember the infamous "click of death" infesting Iomega Zip drives?) But after reading the Amazon reviews, I decided to get the Iomega 1TB drive.
It is about half the size of my old 350 MB Maxtor hard drives, costs half as much, and has three times the storage capacity! I plugged it in and Windows XP had it up and running in seconds, no fuss.
As a test, I transferred two gigs of photos (I'm a photojournalist) and it backed up two gigs in two minutes. It is almost perfectly silent.
I didn't bother downloading the free Retrospect Backup software; I always back up manually as part of my business routine.
If I ever have a problem with this drive, I'll update this review. Otherwise, I rate it as a perfect high-capacity drive, period.
Just the Right External Hard Drive October 10, 2008

This is the perfect external hard drive for my purposes, which is storing compressed files of live music shows. Having a TB of room will hold many hours of great music. This drive is highly recommended, IMHO!
Great Value November 21, 2008

I plugged it into the USB port on my laptop and it was ready to go. My primary use is to consolidate and backup data from multiple computers and this has plenty of room for music and photos.
This is an excellent value considering I just paid $75 for a 16gig scan disk. It is well built and doesn't have a very large desktop footprint.
This drive is a little to large to lug around every day so I wouldn't consider it portable, but other drives fill that role.
Oooh so pretty and Fast too! November 20, 2008

Its like having a Lamborghini as compared to a PINTO.
The drive looks and works marvelously.
We use it for disk based backups of our EMAIL Servers...yes EMAIL SERVERS.
Works fantastically and its a great value.
Coupled with free shipping and Amazons guarantees...u cannot go wrong.
Iomega has always been a player in storage and this drive adds to their stronghold.
