Pros: quiet, sturdy, reliable- what else is there?

Cons: none so far.

Overall Review: i've had so many external drives fail on me within a few months it is not even funny. this one has worked hard for several months and hasn't had any issues at all. i'll probably buy more of these.

Pros: good connection options, probably good quality hard drive inside....

Cons: after needing four minimax drives replaced within a year, i was upgraded to an ultramax (which seemed a positive solution at the time). now the ultramax has started making the grinding noise that all my other iomegas have made after a month or so. sounds as though the fan completely broke, and now i will be without a drive again for the 5th time in a year while iomega processes my exchange and sends me another dud.

Overall Review: i know the drives inside are probably good quality, but the fans and enclosures made by iomega are so cheap and unreliable that their products are useless. i value the reviews on newegg greatly and am warning everyone out there- don't buy an Iomega. (i have a fantom and a buffalo drive setup in the exact same system and have had zero problems with those).

Pros: Matches mac mini.

Cons: I wrote the review below this one, regarding 4 of these drives dying within a year. After reading Iomega's response blaming this on my environment/possible power fluctuations I am posting these thoughts to try to steer people in the right direction.

Overall Review: I do not have an environmental issue. I have buffalo and fantom external drives that have been sitting right next to the iomegas for the past year. Those two drives have not had a single problem while the minimax is pretty much useless and makes loud noises until it fails. when a product is good i say so and when it is bad people have a right to know. the enclosure/fan for this drive, produced by iomega, are horribly unreliable in the face of other drives working flawlessly.

Pros: matches mac mini.

Cons: i did not purchase this drive from newegg, but felt obligated to post a review for this item. i am on my 4th replacement drive within one year, after losing countless amounts of personal data. every replacement they have sent has died within a month. worst drive i have ever seen, what more can i say?
