5 of 5 trusty Saturday, April 18, 2009
Mac person from Hudson Valley  

after going through three Western Digital drives, which are now bricks, I decided to return to Iomega, which seems to talk to Macs better. this was easy to set up, and remains reliable. good price.

5 of 5 YOU CAN RELY ON IOMEGA Tuesday, March 31, 2009
Harriett from New York  
They to me are like HP printers. Reliable. Iomega made the best zip drives, that are very functional, and lasts for years with no problems. Forget the fancy stuff. This one very easily stores your files and is attractive looking. (Smaller than i thought). Times are tough and i feel so much better I have it.

5 of 5 Great value for 500GB Monday, January 26, 2009
A Customer from Morgantown WV   
The price was excellent for Iomega - although I chose the cheapest shipping, it still came in 3 days - excellent dealer. It had automatic backup and I like the look. I'm just very pleased with it, as I have been with everything I've ordered from Buy.com. You just get more for your money and can order with confidence!

5 of 5 Extremely Pleased with this Purchase Sunday, January 04, 2009
Doug Emerson from Los Angeles, CA  
I purchased this product for three reasons: (1) Iomega is an excellent brand of hard drives; (2) the online price was very low; and (3) in my experience, Buy.com provides excellent service. The hard drive arrived less than 24 hours from buying the product online (economy shipping!). It arrived in excellent condition, installed with no effort, and has been working perfectly ever since. I couldn't be happier with the Iomega hard drive and Buy.com.

5 of 5 Works right out of the box Thursday, December 18, 2008
HPrada from Saint Louis Missouri  
After unpacking, I immediatley set out to transfer 47Gb worth of files, which took a little while, but it went without a hickup. With such a huge capacity it'll take years to fill it all up. The wall transformer is a switching power supply type which stays totally cool when it remains plugged-in 24/7 and the drive is not in use. Great product, thank you Buycom.

5 of 5 Works as advertised Monday, December 01, 2008
A Customer from New Fairfield, CT  
Easy to set up - just plug it in. I'm using this drive for back up purposes. I've not used the software which comes with it, prefering image backup instead. I've had no problems with the drive

5 of 5 Great little HD Monday, September 08, 2008
A Customer from Potomac, MD  
Easy to set up and use, and the EMC Retrospect back up client that's offered free with the HD make this a no brainer to buy. Good value, delivered promptly
