 Iomega 500GB USB 2.0 External HDD August 19, 2008
Shipping was great as always thanks to Amazon. Arrived in 4 days with free shipping.
This product works as advertised. Plug it in and it is immediately recognized and ready to go. Makes a slight clicking sound when working, but it is barely noticeable over the fans on my PC and I usually can't hear it. I put it on the stand to help keep it cool, it gets warm but not hot.
The aluminum finish and blue light look good and are functional.
I am satisfied with my purchase and I would recommend this to anyone looking for extra storage space.
Works as it should August 18, 2008
Drive is really nice. It does what it is supposed to do. I store all my information on this drive and i have lots of space left. i believe that I am covered for at least the next 2 years. It has an external power connector, so you have to have a wall socket around and then you switch it on, and connect to your laptop/computer. It gets detected as any normal external device and you can drag drop items.
It is heavy, which is expected of 500 Gbs. I have had it for about an year and no problems. The real seller was the price which is really low for such huge capacity.
 Disappointing reliability August 17, 2008
Drive "died" after about two weeks use once my son had transferred most of his key files to it.
Very poor
Works great August 15, 2008
The drive was recognized immediately by all of the computers that I use. The transfer rate is very fast and I have heard nothing from the drive when it is operating. There was an earlier complaint about it being noisy, but my drive is very quite.
Features that I wish it had ---
1 - It has to be manually shut off when turning off the computer.
2 - There is no backup software provided.
Outside of these issues, it works perfect.
Good product: no noise or trouble August 15, 2008

I was skeptical because of the review that reported noise, but since I had intended it for backup and not active use, I figured the price was good for the purpose. It turned out better than expected.
Out of the box, the drive is aesthetically pleasant, with a sleek stainless steel finish, and a cool blue light when it's operating. Setup was super easy, true plug-and-work with no need for reading instructions if you know how to use your own computer. The drive was found right away and worked easily complementary to my system and other drives. It fit right in with my work area, even improving the general look of the desk because of its nice vertical holder.
As for the "noise" reported by another commenter, there is none on the device I received. In fact it is quieter than my 250GB WD MyBook, takes up less space, looks better, and provides faster movement of data. One neat feature is an on-off switch (the WD does not have this), so I can turn it off while leaving it USB connected to the computer (instead of plugging it out whenever I'm done).
I am very happy with this purchase! I have backed up 400GB of movies on it, and plan to buy another one (my only regret is that I should have bought more storage space). I picture my DVD player replaced with a my two Iomega 500GB hard drives and a sleek laptop to send everything to my TV on command. It's a beautiful piece of equipment, and I have no complaints. I highly recommend this purchase. At under $100 and free shipping, it's a good bargain!
