Great Performer June 25, 2008

I purchased this drive for my Time Machine backup on my iMac and it has performed very well. I've had it for 8 months now. The FW800 makes for super fast transfers. The other drive (another brand) I had on my FW400 has now failed so I'm on here looking to replace that one with this Iomega.
I see the price has risen since I last purchased this drive, but I'm willing to pay for reliability. Hopefully lightning will strike twice and this product will deliver for me once again.

I bought the 750GB drive a little over 6 months ago. It worked fine for 4 months,then began making strange ,repetitive noises and not being detected by my computer. I went to Iomega's website and found it impossible to contact a person even after providing my credit card info for a $25 charge just to possibly speak to someone. I got the cyber run-around. I finally was able to find an e-mail address- they don't make it easy- and sent a message complaining of all of the above. One week later I was fortunate enough to be home to answer a phone call from an Iomega rep who waived the $25 fee(what a company!)Based on my description of the problem,he said it needed to be replaced,gave an RMA#, I sent the thing in and got a replacement in a few weeks.
The drive might end up OK, But I probably will not purchase another Iomega product after my experience with them.
Try another Brand May 23, 2008

This drive worked well for three months then died. Iomega sent me another that wouldn't work at all. I've returned it also. Each time it costs $9 to return it and a week with no drive and you loose all data on that drive. You can't talk with a human at their Support. Overall quite a poor experience. Lesson: alway backup with more than one drive (difficult if using auto-backup) and try another brand.
great product, weak software January 7, 2008
I purchased the Iomega 750gb external drive to store and manage my work. It does that flawlessly. I even backed up my hard drives with no problems. However, the included software (Retrospect Express) is like many other included programs; weak. The directions are simple enough, however, I would prefer an automatic back-up program due simply to the nature of my business. In my opinion, the Retrospect Express software is the only flaw in an otherwise 5 star product.
 Slick, fast, great price... but poor service from Iomega December 28, 2007

I love the drive. It is fast, compact, sturdy, and a great price. However, I guess the first copy I got was damaged in shipping, or maybe just a lemon. I bought the drive because my computer hard-drive was full. I should have been more careful, but I transfered all my wedding photos (I am a wedding photographer) on to the new drive and deleted them from my computer (BIG MISTAKE). The drive crashed 3 days later, and would not connect to any computer. When I called Iomega... they said I could get a new one, but that to get the data off the crashed drive, they would charge me like $1,500.00, as that was not in the warranty. Needless to say, I couldn't afford it and lost ALL the data. I guess I should have been more careful, but part of me is pissed off that the drive crashed. Amazon was AWESOME, they sent me a replacement before I had even returned the old one!
