Iomega portable hard drives?

[roger06]

Anyone know if the Iomega portable hard drives are any good?

I've just been sent an email from BT selling them at £75. My initial reaction was that they'd be cheaper on Amazon but they're £90 there so seem like a good deal.

I'm tempted but don't want to buy rubbish!

Thanks

Have had an iomega network drive for about nine months now, no problems so far.

I've had an Iomega portable hard drive for over a year now and i've never had a single problem, it's been reliable no matter what i put on it and it's sturdy with great build quality. I only ever had one very slight problem and that was when i wanted to format the drive into Fat32 but the iomega site had great customer support and they sent me the program i needed in order to format into Fat 32 via an email that contained a web page to download it.

I can't recommend them enough

I've had two and both failed. Much better to buy a caddie and drive so that you can install your own drive into the caddie. Don't buy a sealed unit as a failure means the whole thing is useless. It takes all of two minutes to install the drive.

Got a 1TB job, works well, and does exactly what it says on the tin.

Wife has a WD, can't see any difference between them, if this helps?

I bought a 1.5tb iomega and had no probs at all. Check "Where in the world....P...." As per gb it was the cheapest i could find. This was about a year ago though. I dont use mine that often though. For backups and to clear up some space on my macbook as my wife loves photos from her slr. Mine is tucked away in a wardrobe may even put it right out the house just in case...
