I am a proud owner of a few Iomega external hard drives and they have served me well, but when I saw the Iomega 1TB I was a bit hesitant to buy it. I had a 500 Gigabyte Iomega hard drive bought for me back in 2007 and I have put a lot of information ranging from Pictures, music and home movies, and believe me when I say I have hardly any room left on there. Owning different size (whether it be size in memory or size in physical appearance) Iomega Hard drives I think I can say I know a bit about them and how they operate. The one thing I am sure you have noticed is that this particular hard drive is the size of a brick, which I would agree with you, ...  Read the complete review

When I was in my second year of university I realised I needed to clear some space on my laptop so that it would perform better. I decided to invest in a external hard drive and after shopping around I found this model and it has served me well ever since. The external hard drive has 1TB worth of space. It is a bulky size so is probably better to be kept at the house rather than to be used as something similar to a USB stick. It is compatible with both Mac and PC's however, but you need certain amounts of RAM available with both. The recommendation is approx 250mb for a PC and approx 120mb for a Mac. This will help the hard drive run at its full ...  Read the complete review

I use my laptop for photoshop, Logic Pro (music software) and a lot of other high usage programs, so for me the more hard rive space I have on the laptop itself the better, for performance that is. I got this external hard drive about 6 months ago for storing music, videos, pictures and general files. I use it with my macbook, and also have plugged it into PC's with no problem (formatted to FAT32) FUNCTIONALITY, Straight out of the box it is all very easy to use. No set up required just plug it in and start transferring files. There is an LED light display that shows when the hard drive is being used, so you know when not to disconnect. STORAGE, ...  Read the complete review

My first external hard drive was the 250gb Iomega model which I was extremely happy with. A few months ago my house was burgled and my hard drive, along with about 200gb worth of movies and photos was stolen. After the insurance money came through I set about replacing my stolen stuff and was amazed to find that for around the same price I paid a year ago for a 250gb hard drive, I could now have a mighty 1tb model! The Iomega Select Desktop 1tb model is a bit big and clunky looking, but for the price I am definitely not complaining. It is a plug and play device which is fantastic if, like me, you are not very techy. Apart from formatting it, you don't need to ...  Read the complete review

I was wary of buying an Iomega product after hearing stories of total drive failures from friends, but I took the plunge anyway. I needed an external drive and this was cheap, sturdy and apparently reliable (after research online told me so). To be honest, it looks pretty brick-like. It is heavy, black and chunky. Not the nicest thing to place on your desk next to a suave, sleek MacBook (even if mine is black, too). Anyway, I know that looks aren't everything (why do you think I have no profile picture?) so I have hidden it behind some books. As to set up, it is ready to go out of the box with a Windows PC using NTFS, but it needs to be formatted ...  Read the complete review
