Iomega UltraMax 500 GB Desktop Hard Drive FW 400/USB 2.0 Reviews
Disappointing. I'm waiting for my IT daughter to visit so she can set it up. There were no instructions included with this hard drive, and so it is sitting on the desk and my files are still not backed up.
It is funny how similar it looks to the mac pro. The firewire could not have been faster. Regularly it would take me 5-10 minutes just to put a couple of songs onto my mac HD. It is extremely quite, sometimes I forgot it's even there. The firewire cable is pretty short but I am fine with it. This took 20 min to put my massive collection of 4300 songs. This external hard drive is amazing, at first when I saw the box I was like 'Holy crap, there is no way there's a hard drive in there with a 500 GB storage. When you are using it there is a blue light that turns on but a white light that always is on.
A nice stand comes with it which fits the hard drive perfectly. A perfect hard drive for any mac user. In my opinion I would have liked it a tiny bit bigger and chunkier but because of the size it is very portable. It is tiny.
Thanks much to Amazon for there excellent assistance.
It was connected to a Apple MacBook running Time Machine.
The replacement unit has been working now for about one month and is working excellent.
I received a Iomega UltraMax 500 GB hard drive from Amazon.
Amazon was contacted and they sent a replacement at no charge, arriving in 3 days.
But after four hours if failed.

It started running just fine.
It was tried in both FW 400 & USB modes on several computers but would not connect.
Reliable, quiet drive which happens to look great. No problems with the three UltraMax 500 drives I own. I had problems with other brands involving data loss and unpredictable response.
I'd give it 5 stars except it hasn't withstood the test of time yet for me. I've been running this Iomega for over a month with no problems. Andy I love the plug in and play with my macbook.
