Digital camera reviews of Iomega Portable Hard Drive, FireWire 400/USB 2.0, 160GB - 33749
Digital camera Review: Works with my MacBook Pro over Firewire just fine
Summary: 5 Stars
My biggest worry in ordering this product was whether it would work without an additional power source (e.g., USB) over Firewire. Some reviews of other capacity Iomega drives had mentioned this as an issue with their computers.
I have the 15" 2.2 GHz MacBook Pro and it powers this drive just fine over the Firewire port, even when the MacBook Pro is running off battery.
The other question I had was whether the drive came with cables--it does, both a USB and a Firewire cable are included.
The included Firewire cable is obscenely long (3 or 4') to use on a lap tray on an airplane, so I will shop around for a 1' cable.
I cannot comment on the reliability, but the speed seems reasonable for a laptop drive, and it works for what I need. The Iomega name does not ring the sound of quality in my ear (having had a number of Zip drives in the day), but I figured I'd take the chance. So far so good!
Digital camera Review: external hard drive
Summary: 5 Stars
I moved files, such as pictures, from my internal hard drive onto the Iomega, thereby freeing up much needed space. The product worked nicely for me. However, after the file copy, this product became very warm. Therefore, when not in use, I keep the unit powered off (switch is in the back).Digital camera Review: portable,functional,easy handling drive.
Summary: 5 Stars
The great product it does what it suppose to do with portability
you can carry it anywhere.
can't go wrong with it.
