Customer Reviews Great product Date: 2008-01-07 | Rating: 5 This thing rocks. I have 16 of them. I've been buying them since 2004. I love them. I love that they keep getting higher in capacity, easier to operate, and cheaper, and they stay the same size physically. Great. I've never had one die on me, though a contract employee of mine says one of his died. Great Drive Date: 2008-04-19 | Rating: 5 I bought this drive so that I could easily transfer large video and audio files between two pcs using a USB connection, and backup some other stuff. It has performed very well, to this point. The drive stays cool, is very quiet, and is relatively attractive to look at. I have not had any hitches or wait times wile streaming video from the drive. The blue LED on the front is almost annoyingly bright, especially in a dark room, but that's about my only complaint. It is blinding, if you look directly into the light--seriously. I love the drive, overall, and I'll be buying another when this one fills up. The size, cost, appearance, and performance are all better than I expected for such a large capacity unit. Had it abouot 2 months. All is fine so far.... Date: 2008-03-06 | Rating: 5 No problems with this drive. Its quiet and cool and i'm using it to store my thousands of music files. I'd get another one if I could get it at the same price as before. Great External Hard Drive Date: 2008-08-17 | Rating: 5 This is a great external hard drive. Easy to use and interface with your computer. We use it to store movies, mp3's, and scanned documents. Needed Storage Date: 2008-08-17 | Rating: 5 Received in record time! I needed additional storage for videos and pictures. In fact, bought two to provide an additional backup. So far I have experienced no problems with this unit. It's fast, backs up fast and would certainly recommend to others.

Customer Reviews One of the best backup solutions I've found Date: 2004-10-08 | Rating: 5 The drive is fast, efficiant, reliable, and once saved my life because I'd backed up a whole hard drive of a laptop on to it - a laptop which then got left by an open window during a sudden downpour. I've tried a whole host of backup solutions over the years, this is the only one that allows you to take an image of an entire hard drive in about 35 minutes (15 GB of data: my last solution took nearly four hours to do this) and store it somewhere safe, for a rainy day. One BIG Zip Disk Date: 2004-05-01 | Rating: 5 This is being marketed as a backup solution, and that's fine, it's a great one and, depending upon what you're using, maybe a little expensive. However, don't overlook (and this isn't obvious at all from their marketing) that this is still just like one very fast, and, very, VERY BIG password protected Zip Drive! Iomega has finally delivered what they promised (and NEVER delivered at 2.0 USB!!!) with the Peerless several years ago. This unit is really small -- the disks are smaller than Zip disks -- and if they keep up with their plans of doubling the capacity every 18 months or so, they may really be onto something. Installation was totally unremarkable and exactly as promised. It comes with a version of Norton Ghost made especially for the Rev. Following the included directions step-by-step re: the Ghost backup is very important. The Floppy of the Future Date: 2004-07-04 | Rating: 5 When I first unpacked this , I was amazed to see just how compact it was. The software loaded without a hitch and I was up and running. This is a dream come true. It backs up my data as fast if not faster than my old external drive. I bought this because on my job we switched from our old Zip 250 to these, so I needed this at home for work, but wow It does so much more. I loaded all my sons pc games onto it so I could free up the pc's internal drive and they work just as well. I just pop out his disk and place in mine when I need to work. I love it, Thanks Iomega for a great device. The Super Zip Date: 2004-06-23 | Rating: 5 This is what we needed. Iomega finally gave us a Zip style drive to meet the needs of today. I use this as an external hard drive. It's as fast as my maxtor 80 gig, but with being able to swap disks. I lost alot of data once when my old external maxtor crashed. But with this it's easy to change disks. I had the zip 250 for 5 years and loved it but needed more storage. This is the answer. Software loaded easy and I was up and running in a few minutes. Thanks for your reviews Date: 2004-12-04 | Rating: 5 After reviewing the product on this web site, I finally took the plunge. I couldn't be happier. I have my entire hard drive imaged and have Automatic Backup Pro updating hourly. I haven't had a decent backup system since Adaptec 4 which doesn't support Windows XP. This worked with Iomega's USB CDR. Since I now have a new computer and a wonderful backup system; I should be good to go for some time. In case of disaster, I can recover in a short time. As a Tax Preparer, this is of major importance in the months to come......

Customer Reviews Pretty seamless home network drive Date: 2009-02-26 | Rating: 5 I've been using the 1TB media drive for about a month and a half now and have had a very positive experience. I set it up on an XP machine and had little problem connecting to it from my Vista laptop and XP netbook without installing any software. The only feature I haven't used is the USB print server (my printer is located in my office and the hard drive is connected in the living room next to the router and haven't wanted to move either one so they could be physically connected). My PS3 automatically found the device on the network, and I use the PS3 to watch TV shows stored on the hard drive on my HDTV. This works great. I can't edit files using the PS3, but I can play AVI and MP3 files (I sometimes play music through my stereo system this way as well as TV shows). Formats like .mkv files won't play this way, but that's a function of the PS3 rather than a limitation of the hard drive. I'm not using the backup software that comes with it; I manually load files to the device from any of my computers. I store my business files, writing, music, etc. on the drive and thus can, for instance, sit outside with my netbook while still accessing all my files (which is handy since the netbook has very little local storage). All my files are in one place and it doesn't matter which computer I'm using. Uploading files is not much, if any, faster than a USB 2.0 drive in my experience, but download speeds seem very snappy and even very high resolution video files play back over the network with no delay. For me, this HD solved a lot of problems. I highly recommend it if you have multiple PCs in your house and a collection of media or data files that you want to share, especially if you have a supported device like a PS3 connected to your TV. If you only have one PC and don't want to play media on your TV, you're better off with a 1 TB USB drive since that will be cheaper. Pros * Decent transfer performance over my network (via both wired and wireless connections) * Can connect to it via PS3 or Xbox 360 to view/listen to media files * Pretty painless setup * Takes up very little space * Works exactly as advertised and I'm in no danger of filling up the huge 1 TB drive Cons * Drive is a little noisy * Whether it's a factor of my router or the net drive, sometimes my netbook (wireless) and PS3 (wired) lose connection temporarily. I think this is something happening on my network rather than the drive though. * If I rename a file on the drive using my PC while a file is playing back on my PS3, there is a hiccup on playback: I lose sound for a second, then sound resumes but video playback lags for a few seconds before resuming. Audio and video remain synced when this happens, though. Easy Installation - Good Back-Up Software Date: 2009-07-14 | Rating: 5 The Iomega Home Media Network Storage device is an external hard drive that connects to a network. If you have a wireless router connected to the internet, you have a network. The advantage of a network drive is that multiple computers can access it at the same time. A standard external USB or Firewire drive can only connect to a single computer at one time and does not afford any real security. The drive comes in a nice aluminum case that can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Connect the power supply and network cable (to your routers extra hub ports) and it's ready to configure. The network interface is auto configuring. If you have a newer router or switch, it will do gigabit. In practice, gigabit speed is about 3-4 times faster than 100mb. Installation of the Iomega drive was made easy by the supplied software. If you're a knowledgeable IT person, you can skip using their software and just map a drive to it. Once configured with an IP address, you can use Internet Explorer to get into the management software. The management software allows you to set up multiple shares (folders with permissions on them) . This way you can have personal folders that only a single person can access as well as folders that multiple users can access. I set up 2 folders that have single user access (one for each of the two of us). Then I set up folders that everyone (on my network... not the internet) could access... one for music , one for pictures, etc. A network drive makes it easy to backup important files. Copying the files up to a share provides insurance in case your hard drive fails or laptop is stolen. The drive comes with backup software which works well. This is not a drive to carry with your laptop when you travel (there's no USB port), but if you need a good reliable drive to access at home this fits the bill very nicely. A network drive and media server for the price of a USB drive... no brainer! Date: 2009-08-02 | Rating: 5 This drive is great if you have more than one computer and are tired of moving an USB drive between them. You hook it to your wired network and all your computers can see and share it. If you have a large media library, this terabyte media server is your solution. It's not just a dumb network drive either, it can work as an iTunes or DLNA server so you can play videos and music directly on a compatible device such as the PS3 or a PC running the free XBMC media center application. Set up was easy. I haven't used the CD that came with it, I'm sure it is great, but this drive does not need any special software to work and the less bloat on my system, the better. Connect it to the network just like you would a computer and turn it on. Give it a moment to boot up, then go to your computer and look for it in your Windows Network under WORKGROUP. It has a funky name like Iomega-0a1234 which you can change. Now you can start using the device. You can copy files to and from it just like a regular Windows network share. Write speed on a regular (100Mbps) network is about 5-6MB/s. To take advantage of its Gigabit capability you need both a Gigabit switch like this one: Netgear GS608NA Giga Switch 8Port and your computer to have a Gigabit ethernet port. Then the write speed is close to 10-11MB/s and read is around 20MB/s (tested under Linux). Keep in mind that you *do not* need Gigabit to play videos. A regular home network should be just fine, although if your playback devices are on WiFi you might be pushing it and will experience problems if it's the slower kind (802.11b). Stay with wired (any kind) for consistent video playback. I also plugged an USB flash drive in the back to see how it works. The flash drive appeared as another network share by its name (I now have a "lexar" share next to the "music", "movies" etc). This means the Iomega drive has the capability of making your old USB drive accessible over the network also! To see its web configuration GUI you must know the IP address to put in a web browswer. That's probably one of the reasons to use the Iomega software but it is a simple command otherwise, or your router can show the IP in its "DHCP clients list". The web config is clean, it allows you to create or delete folders, enable/disable the iTunes and DLNA servers for each folder, create users who can access them. You can even adjust the brightness of the white LED so it does not light up the whole room at night. Nice touch. TwonkyMedia Server is the embedded software inside, so do not be surprised if you find that name in your DLNA browser. There is a second nifty web interface on port 9000 which gives you access to the TwonkyMedia GUI without the "friendly" Iomega skin. There you have a PC media browser, a mobile media browser in two resolutions and more advanced configuration settings including MAC-based access controls. The drive runs warm (100F) at normal room temperature like most USB drives. It is not particularly quiet due to the fact that it's a 7200rpm hard drive and has a small exhaust fan in the back. There seems to be some variance in how noisy the fan is, some may be quieter than others. On the good side, this fan appears to be temperature-controlled so keep the unit ventilated and don't sit it next to equipment that runs hot (cable box or game console) and you won't get to hear it whine too loud. Better yet, since it's a network drive, you're not stuck with keeping it on your desk, you can put it anywhere you can run a network cable. I'm giving it five stars despite the noise problem because right now, for this price, it has a great feature set. For future versions however, I would want a quieter fan, the ability to control hard drive noise (quiet mode) and a low-power idle mode. I don't think I want the hard drive to shut down because power-up is most stressing on hard drives, I'd rather leave it running at low speed or something like that. I have not tested hooking up a printer to it so I don't know how well that works. I recommend an already-networked laser printer Brother HL-2170W 23ppm Laser Printer with Wireless and Wired Network Interfaces instead. A great idea. Easy to set up and use. Date: 2009-06-09 | Rating: 5 I have been looking for a solution of how to network my home computers, including a couple of desktops, and laptops. Music particularly, and also pictures and videos have been hidden from view because having different computers has meant lugging zip drives, photo cards and media all over the house. In short, it doesn't happen often. Wow, things have changes from the days of ONE Apple II in the living room. I was very happy when I received this item, because it looked like the solution to my problems. This is what I found: Pros: 1. Package: Nice looking, fairly small and fairly quiet. Not a ugly addition to a desktop at all. 2. Price: the price for this item and the larger 1TB is very minor compared to the ability to network home computers. 3. Set-up: I found the set-up to be fairly easy in that you essentially hook up the drive to your router through a standard (and provided) DSL Ethernet cable. You insert a CD for the drivers and you should be able to see the network drive listed on your computer. Next, add your media and your ready to go. Set-up went easily, much better than expected. 4. Size: 500GB is the size of the drive I received. Though 500 GB seems to be impossibly large, it could be that 1TB might be better. But, given a few years ago when 1GB was a lot of information, this is still a great deal of space. 5. Itunes capable: if your like me and you have a lot of music in your itunes library, this feature of being able to share a library across your network is a significant feature and would be a deal maker for me. I can't comment on the total ease of use because I have not had the item long enough, but it sure seems to work very well thus far. Neutral: 1. The instructions are not very clear and specific. If you are not computer-literate, you may have some problems with set-up because their are not tons of instructions in the manual you receive in the package, although you do get a more comprehensive manual on the CD, 2. The drive does stay on 24/7. It seems well ventilated with a fairly quiet fan. Who knows about long-term use, i.e. will it last at least four years when I figure a 2 TB drive will be under $100? 3. Print server: I have no idea how this function works because I already have a network ready printer so this function was not needed. 4. There is a USB port in the back which I have not messed around with, so I have no idea if you can link up a computer directly in this manner, but it does exist. Given the lack of a power down/powersave function, I hope this is a capability for a software update. Cons: 1. Long-term: as mentioned above, the drive does not spin down and there is no power down mode I could find. I would hope that this could be addressed in a software update. 2. Fan noise: Some reviewers have mentioned an issue with the fan noise. You can hear the fan, but it is quiet. You certainly do not notice it in a office or home setting where there is other noise. If you require absolute quiet you should be aware of this issue. Slight for me, it may drive some nuts. Then again, this is a hard drive and it needs to be kept cool. Overall, this is a very well made item. A great solution for those looking to network media in a easy and most importantly inexpensive manner. I will update this review in the comments with issues long-term, but so far (one week) this item has worked well. Very Cool Date: 2009-12-11 | Rating: 5 Basic netork storage with a few bonuses. Like torrent downloading and ftp server. Be sure to get the newest firmware when you get yours because it adds functions. I didnt try the included software. Im sure its ok but local software to run a network device never made sense to me. Just log in to the web interface and all you need is there. I personally set the drive to a static ip on my router just so its easier to find without having to guess its current ip. So to keep it short. Very Cool! Update!!! I did have one problem with the admin login. Suddenly after using the drive for a day or so i couldn't get into the admin interface if i set a password. It would just say error 500 web server error. It worked fine without a pass, but what good would protected folders be if anyone could just type in the drives ip and set sharing to everyone. So falling for the illusion that tech support knows anything more than i do i do the chat support. The person was friendly and moderately knowledgeable but couldn't help me. they offered to help me over the phone for free (how kind of them) but i declined. So after some brainstorming and a couple of redbulls i had a revelation. Could it be my username for my password protected shares? Turns out thats what it was. When you set up shares you can give them username and password authentication. My user name had a space in it. So i change my username to just one word (no spaces) and BANG!! everything works like a charm. I haven't found anyone else who had that problem but if anyone else ever does, there ya go. Im still very happy with the product. all it really needs is an update in the included literature. Heck it could be in there for all i know. i never read manuals.

It's been bother having to lug a standard external drive around while on vacation, but the physical size of this drive, not to forget the 500 GB capacity, more than meets my needs. This was a great purchace at a great price. Does the job, looks great, at a great price Date: 2009-06-04 | Rating: 5 I bought this to use on my PC and MAC. I created several partitions on it to store a backup of my PC hard drive, a backup of my family videos and photos, and a backup of my MACOS hard drive. Small enough to store in secure places like a safe or security box. Very quiet when running. I have not had to use both USB cables at once. Seems to work ok with just one plugged in. It should be treated like any hard drive, keep it stationary when you're using it and store it in a safe place when you're not. Highly recommend! Iomega Prestige 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive Date: 2009-04-13 | Rating: 5 Great Value and seamless installation. I just plugged it into the USB port and and everything installed automatically. It even came with a system backup software package that has many options for backing up your entire system or partial backups. Right now I have 3 complete system backups and still have over 400 GB of free space. The hard drive is small, sturdy and reliable. You can unplug it and take it with you in a matter of seconds. I would recommend this to anyone. Faster than my previous Iomega eGo 320GB Date: 2009-09-26 | Rating: 5 I've had several Iomega and other branded small portable hard drives. This one is the best one I've had from every aspect. It transfers data fast, looks very sleek, the metal keeps it cool and it is reminiscent of some of the Mac Pro desktop cases. It is definitely faster at transferring data than the eGo 320 red that I had and the western digital passport that had only a single USB cable. And it doesn't scratch (since it's unpainted metal) like some of the western digital drives I've had. I don't like that it has a double snakehead USB cable. I don't like consuming two USB ports, but if you want fast speeds in a portable, it seems all but mandatory these days on most brands. Iomega Prestige 500GB Review Date: 2009-04-11 | Rating: 5 I've had the product just short of a month and I am completely satisfied. I use it for additional storage for my laptop, and its small size makes it very handy to stick into the bag with the laptop. It fits into my shirt pocket, but I don't like the risk of it falling out. I've learned that if I attach it via a USB hub with lots of other gadgets (thumb drives, headset, webcam, etc.) it could use an auxiliary power adapter. It does have a jack for a 5V supply. Update: The original drive, the one previously reviewed, died completely in early August. I received a replacement from Iomega, but I haven't used it as of October 19. I inserted a 500GB drive in my laptop instead of depending upon an external for extra storage. I use a Western Digital 1TB for backup.

I set it up on an XP machine and had little problem connecting to it from my Vista laptop and XP netbook without installing any software. The only feature I haven't used is the USB print server (my printer is located in my office and the hard drive is connected in the living room next to the router and haven't wanted to move either one so they could be physically connected). My PS3 automatically found the device on the network, and I use the PS3 to watch TV shows stored on the hard drive on my HDTV. This works great. I can't edit files using the PS3, but I can play AVI and MP3 files (I sometimes play music through my stereo system this way as well as TV shows). Formats like .mkv files won't play this way, but that's a function of the PS3 rather than a limitation of the hard drive. I'm not using the backup software that comes with it; I manually load files to the device from any of my computers. I store my business files, writing, music, etc. on the drive and thus can, for instance, sit outside with my netbook while still accessing all my files (which is handy since the netbook has very little local storage). All my files are in one place and it doesn't matter which computer I'm using. Uploading files is not much, if any, faster than a USB 2.0 drive in my experience, but download speeds seem very snappy and even very high resolution video files play back over the network with no delay. For me, this HD solved a lot of problems. I highly recommend it if you have multiple PCs in your house and a collection of media or data files that you want to share, especially if you have a supported device like a PS3 connected to your TV. If you only have one PC and don't want to play media on your TV, you're better off with a 1 TB USB drive since that will be cheaper. Pros * Decent transfer performance over my network (via both wired and wireless connections) * Can connect to it via PS3 or Xbox 360 to view/listen to media files * Pretty painless setup * Takes up very little space * Works exactly as advertised and I'm in no danger of filling up the huge 1 TB drive Cons * Drive is a little noisy * Whether it's a factor of my router or the net drive, sometimes my netbook (wireless) and PS3 (wired) lose connection temporarily. I think this is something happening on my network rather than the drive though. * If I rename a file on the drive using my PC while a file is playing back on my PS3, there is a hiccup on playback: I lose sound for a second, then sound resumes but video playback lags for a few seconds before resuming. Audio and video remain synced when this happens, though. Easy Installation - Good Back-Up Software Date: 2009-07-14 | Rating: 5 The Iomega Home Media Network Storage device is an external hard drive that connects to a network. If you have a wireless router connected to the internet, you have a network. The advantage of a network drive is that multiple computers can access it at the same time. A standard external USB or Firewire drive can only connect to a single computer at one time and does not afford any real security. The drive comes in a nice aluminum case that can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Connect the power supply and network cable (to your routers extra hub ports) and it's ready to configure. The network interface is auto configuring. If you have a newer router or switch, it will do gigabit. In practice, gigabit speed is about 3-4 times faster than 100mb. Installation of the Iomega drive was made easy by the supplied software. If you're a knowledgeable IT person, you can skip using their software and just map a drive to it. Once configured with an IP address, you can use Internet Explorer to get into the management software. The management software allows you to set up multiple shares (folders with permissions on them) . This way you can have personal folders that only a single person can access as well as folders that multiple users can access. I set up 2 folders that have single user access (one for each of the two of us). Then I set up folders that everyone (on my network... not the internet) could access... one for music , one for pictures, etc. A network drive makes it easy to backup important files. Copying the files up to a share provides insurance in case your hard drive fails or laptop is stolen. The drive comes with backup software which works well. This is not a drive to carry with your laptop when you travel (there's no USB port), but if you need a good reliable drive to access at home this fits the bill very nicely. A network drive and media server for the price of a USB drive... no brainer! Date: 2009-08-02 | Rating: 5 This drive is great if you have more than one computer and are tired of moving an USB drive between them. You hook it to your wired network and all your computers can see and share it. If you have a large media library, this terabyte media server is your solution. It's not just a dumb network drive either, it can work as an iTunes or DLNA server so you can play videos and music directly on a compatible device such as the PS3 or a PC running the free XBMC media center application. Set up was easy. I haven't used the CD that came with it, I'm sure it is great, but this drive does not need any special software to work and the less bloat on my system, the better. Connect it to the network just like you would a computer and turn it on. Give it a moment to boot up, then go to your computer and look for it in your Windows Network under WORKGROUP. It has a funky name like Iomega-0a1234 which you can change. Now you can start using the device. You can copy files to and from it just like a regular Windows network share. Write speed on a regular (100Mbps) network is about 5-6MB/s. To take advantage of its Gigabit capability you need both a Gigabit switch like this one: Netgear GS608NA Giga Switch 8Port and your computer to have a Gigabit ethernet port. Then the write speed is close to 10-11MB/s and read is around 20MB/s (tested under Linux). Keep in mind that you *do not* need Gigabit to play videos. A regular home network should be just fine, although if your playback devices are on WiFi you might be pushing it and will experience problems if it's the slower kind (802.11b). Stay with wired (any kind) for consistent video playback. I also plugged an USB flash drive in the back to see how it works. The flash drive appeared as another network share by its name (I now have a "lexar" share next to the "music", "movies" etc). This means the Iomega drive has the capability of making your old USB drive accessible over the network also! To see its web configuration GUI you must know the IP address to put in a web browswer. That's probably one of the reasons to use the Iomega software but it is a simple command otherwise, or your router can show the IP in its "DHCP clients list". The web config is clean, it allows you to create or delete folders, enable/disable the iTunes and DLNA servers for each folder, create users who can access them. You can even adjust the brightness of the white LED so it does not light up the whole room at night. Nice touch. TwonkyMedia Server is the embedded software inside, so do not be surprised if you find that name in your DLNA browser. There is a second nifty web interface on port 9000 which gives you access to the TwonkyMedia GUI without the "friendly" Iomega skin. There you have a PC media browser, a mobile media browser in two resolutions and more advanced configuration settings including MAC-based access controls. The drive runs warm (100F) at normal room temperature like most USB drives. It is not particularly quiet due to the fact that it's a 7200rpm hard drive and has a small exhaust fan in the back. There seems to be some variance in how noisy the fan is, some may be quieter than others. On the good side, this fan appears to be temperature-controlled so keep the unit ventilated and don't sit it next to equipment that runs hot (cable box or game console) and you won't get to hear it whine too loud. Better yet, since it's a network drive, you're not stuck with keeping it on your desk, you can put it anywhere you can run a network cable. I'm giving it five stars despite the noise problem because right now, for this price, it has a great feature set. For future versions however, I would want a quieter fan, the ability to control hard drive noise (quiet mode) and a low-power idle mode. I don't think I want the hard drive to shut down because power-up is most stressing on hard drives, I'd rather leave it running at low speed or something like that. I have not tested hooking up a printer to it so I don't know how well that works. I recommend an already-networked laser printer Brother HL-2170W 23ppm Laser Printer with Wireless and Wired Network Interfaces instead. A great idea. Easy to set up and use. Date: 2009-06-09 | Rating: 5 I have been looking for a solution of how to network my home computers, including a couple of desktops, and laptops. Music particularly, and also pictures and videos have been hidden from view because having different computers has meant lugging zip drives, photo cards and media all over the house. In short, it doesn't happen often. Wow, things have changes from the days of ONE Apple II in the living room. I was very happy when I received this item, because it looked like the solution to my problems. This is what I found: Pros: 1. Package: Nice looking, fairly small and fairly quiet. Not a ugly addition to a desktop at all. 2. Price: the price for this item and the larger 1TB is very minor compared to the ability to network home computers. 3. Set-up: I found the set-up to be fairly easy in that you essentially hook up the drive to your router through a standard (and provided) DSL Ethernet cable. You insert a CD for the drivers and you should be able to see the network drive listed on your computer. Next, add your media and your ready to go. Set-up went easily, much better than expected. 4. Size: 500GB is the size of the drive I received. Though 500 GB seems to be impossibly large, it could be that 1TB might be better. But, given a few years ago when 1GB was a lot of information, this is still a great deal of space. 5. Itunes capable: if your like me and you have a lot of music in your itunes library, this feature of being able to share a library across your network is a significant feature and would be a deal maker for me. I can't comment on the total ease of use because I have not had the item long enough, but it sure seems to work very well thus far. Neutral: 1. The instructions are not very clear and specific. If you are not computer-literate, you may have some problems with set-up because their are not tons of instructions in the manual you receive in the package, although you do get a more comprehensive manual on the CD, 2. The drive does stay on 24/7. It seems well ventilated with a fairly quiet fan. Who knows about long-term use, i.e. will it last at least four years when I figure a 2 TB drive will be under $100? 3. Print server: I have no idea how this function works because I already have a network ready printer so this function was not needed. 4. There is a USB port in the back which I have not messed around with, so I have no idea if you can link up a computer directly in this manner, but it does exist. Given the lack of a power down/powersave function, I hope this is a capability for a software update. Cons: 1. Long-term: as mentioned above, the drive does not spin down and there is no power down mode I could find. I would hope that this could be addressed in a software update. 2. Fan noise: Some reviewers have mentioned an issue with the fan noise. You can hear the fan, but it is quiet. You certainly do not notice it in a office or home setting where there is other noise. If you require absolute quiet you should be aware of this issue. Slight for me, it may drive some nuts. Then again, this is a hard drive and it needs to be kept cool. Overall, this is a very well made item. A great solution for those looking to network media in a easy and most importantly inexpensive manner. I will update this review in the comments with issues long-term, but so far (one week) this item has worked well. Very Cool Date: 2009-12-11 | Rating: 5 Basic netork storage with a few bonuses. Like torrent downloading and ftp server. Be sure to get the newest firmware when you get yours because it adds functions. I didnt try the included software. Im sure its ok but local software to run a network device never made sense to me. Just log in to the web interface and all you need is there. I personally set the drive to a static ip on my router just so its easier to find without having to guess its current ip. So to keep it short. Very Cool! Update!!! I did have one problem with the admin login. Suddenly after using the drive for a day or so i couldn't get into the admin interface if i set a password. It would just say error 500 web server error. It worked fine without a pass, but what good would protected folders be if anyone could just type in the drives ip and set sharing to everyone. So falling for the illusion that tech support knows anything more than i do i do the chat support. The person was friendly and moderately knowledgeable but couldn't help me. they offered to help me over the phone for free (how kind of them) but i declined. So after some brainstorming and a couple of redbulls i had a revelation. Could it be my username for my password protected shares? Turns out thats what it was. When you set up shares you can give them username and password authentication. My user name had a space in it. So i change my username to just one word (no spaces) and BANG!! everything works like a charm. I haven't found anyone else who had that problem but if anyone else ever does, there ya go. Im still very happy with the product. all it really needs is an update in the included literature. Heck it could be in there for all i know. i never read manuals.

Customer Reviews Iomega 500GB Portable Hard Drive is Great Date: 2009-03-01 | Rating: 5 The Iomega 34169 500GB USB 2.0 Prestige Portable Hard Drive not only met my expectations, but exceeded them. It's been bother having to lug a standard external drive around while on vacation, but the physical size of this drive, not to forget the 500 GB capacity, more than meets my needs. This was a great purchace at a great price. Does the job, looks great, at a great price Date: 2009-06-04 | Rating: 5 I bought this to use on my PC and MAC. I created several partitions on it to store a backup of my PC hard drive, a backup of my family videos and photos, and a backup of my MACOS hard drive. Small enough to store in secure places like a safe or security box. Very quiet when running. I have not had to use both USB cables at once. Seems to work ok with just one plugged in. It should be treated like any hard drive, keep it stationary when you're using it and store it in a safe place when you're not. Highly recommend! Iomega Prestige 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive Date: 2009-04-13 | Rating: 5 Great Value and seamless installation. I just plugged it into the USB port and and everything installed automatically. It even came with a system backup software package that has many options for backing up your entire system or partial backups. Right now I have 3 complete system backups and still have over 400 GB of free space. The hard drive is small, sturdy and reliable. You can unplug it and take it with you in a matter of seconds. I would recommend this to anyone. Faster than my previous Iomega eGo 320GB Date: 2009-09-26 | Rating: 5 I've had several Iomega and other branded small portable hard drives. This one is the best one I've had from every aspect. It transfers data fast, looks very sleek, the metal keeps it cool and it is reminiscent of some of the Mac Pro desktop cases. It is definitely faster at transferring data than the eGo 320 red that I had and the western digital passport that had only a single USB cable. And it doesn't scratch (since it's unpainted metal) like some of the western digital drives I've had. I don't like that it has a double snakehead USB cable. I don't like consuming two USB ports, but if you want fast speeds in a portable, it seems all but mandatory these days on most brands. Iomega Prestige 500GB Review Date: 2009-04-11 | Rating: 5 I've had the product just short of a month and I am completely satisfied. I use it for additional storage for my laptop, and its small size makes it very handy to stick into the bag with the laptop. It fits into my shirt pocket, but I don't like the risk of it falling out. I've learned that if I attach it via a USB hub with lots of other gadgets (thumb drives, headset, webcam, etc.) it could use an auxiliary power adapter. It does have a jack for a 5V supply. Update: The original drive, the one previously reviewed, died completely in early August. I received a replacement from Iomega, but I haven't used it as of October 19. I inserted a 500GB drive in my laptop instead of depending upon an external for extra storage. I use a Western Digital 1TB for backup.

Another good reason to buy from Amazon. Always remember that outfits like iomega, LaCie, Fantom and others are packagers, not hard drive manufacturers. There are only a few hard drive manufacturers and all of them turn out good products. This does not mean that hard drives don't fail - they do and anyone who keeps only one copy of critical data is a fool. The units I purchased both had current models of Seagate Barracuda drives installed: excellent devices. Right now, the drives themselves from some sources cost only a few dollars less than the iomega unit, so you are getting the external housing for just a few dollars. The housing has a power switch, very nice at a time when other manufacturers are eliminating such "frills" and a white activity light on the side, which strikes me as a strange place for it. Since the housing has no fan, there is no fan noise. The noise from the drive itself should be imperceptible. (If it isn't, return the unit immediately.)The housing remains cool to the touch in use. The unit size is nice and a plastic base is included for those who prefer a vertical mounting. A power supply and USB cable round out the package. One of the very nice aspects of this unit is that there is no software installed on the drive - nor is any included in the box. Yea! The drive comes NTFS formatted and, for use with an Apple Macintosh, must be reformatted. Overall, a very nice value. Jerry Cheap, small, huge storage! Date: 2008-11-22 | Rating: 5 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 GB 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. Like it Date: 2008-10-24 | Rating: 5 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. *** NOTE - I now own 5 of the new prestige drives, and one of them has stopped working. Luckily I back everything up. I'm still buying the drives, and I'm hopeful that Iomega will replace it, but you should know I lost one of these newer ones. *** NOTE - No, I didn't lose it after all. It was acting wonky for a while, but that was at least six or seven months ago, and I haven't had any trouble since. (It wasn't linking up to the computer, but that stopped after about a week.) It's been working fine since then. Solid Product (So far) Date: 2008-08-31 | Rating: 5 I've had the Prestige for a little over 2 weeks now. It works great. -There's No annoying software (like my friend's WD Mybook) -Runs super quiet -I've had it on for hours at a time and it only gets a little warm -It's got a cool stand -It has a power switch I've been very impressed thus far and would highly recommend this hard drive. Only downside is its actually about 465 gigs [Edit: This review is for the 500GB HD], but most hard drives are like that. The reason I say so far is externals seem to be prone to crashing if you read reviews. Hopefully it lasts forever though. Again, Sweet hard drive. Edit: I've had it for over a year now. I have left it on for days at a time. This thing is unstoppable. Great Replacement for Bad WD Date: 2008-09-30 | Rating: 5 My first external hard drive was a WD500, but two months after the warranty expired, so did the hard drive. It is now in my trash bin. I talked over the possible reasons for its early demise and it came down to the drive is always on, which could easily burn it out. The Iomega has an on/off switch, so I only have to turn it on when it is time to back up the computer. I think this may be a much better design and will give it a longer life.
