Great Product - I ve had this product for 1.5 years and I have found it an incredible product. It transfers data quickly, I don t actually find it that noisy, if you re actually trying to listen to it then you might find it loud but I forget about it after a while. As for the flickering light, I know it s always flickering however you ignore it after a while.It s a great product and hasn t been a problem at all, never broke or crashed.
dreadful - I had to reformat for PC, then found that having the drive on all the time repeatedly crashed the system. Then after a few months it no longer worked! So money completely down the drain. I m sure even though this is recommended for PC it is really only usable with MAC. YUK!
Great item - but beware of formatting! - I brought the hard drive from amazon, was very please with the price - especially compared to what it costs in the Apple online store. It looks great underneath my mini mac, and is really fast and quiet. One word of warning tho, I had recently switched to mac and needed this hard drive to collect my extensive music and photo files from my old pc so they could be used on my new mac. This drive comes pre formatted for use with mac only. Now this isn t a problem if you are buying just to used with mac. Managed to find a solution on Iomegas website on how to format to fat32 for use with pc and mac, but this process took hours! So be warned!.Once all that was sorted that has turned out to be a great buy.
It does what it says on the tin - If you are looking for a no nonsense disk for your mac, then look no further. I have this drive attached to my apple extreme wireless router in my front room. This disk is silent and is a good all-round performer. I have ordered another disk to daisy chain via the firewire interfaces.
Easy and quiet - Just bought one from the Apple Store in Manchester, could have got it cheaper here ,-(However, it is very quiet indeed so I can t agree with one of my fellow reviewers here. Obviously if you have a Mac everything it pretty much plug and play, or rather back up. And if you have a Mac Mini it s a neat unobtrusive piece of kit for your desktop. It comes with Retrospect Express which is all well and good but I d recommend using Backup which is the free app that comes with OSX. It s very simple to use and Retrospect is more complicated than it need be. The drive comes with all the leads and plugs you d expect including a very neat short length firewire cable for those who do intend to put the drive under their Mac Mini.I d say that the only annoying this so far is the flickering I symbol on the front but if you re aiming to put it out of sight that s not going to be an issue is it?
