 Very slow, defective out of the box?Aug 01, 2008
By Billy M. Brackeen
I have to say, I had high hopes for this little drive. Unfortunately I bought this without doing my homework first, and "figured" Iomega would be a quality product.
Boy was I disappointed.
The drive looked very nice, was recognized without issues, all looked well. So I started transferring my old iTunes library to it (about 55GB). Over 24 hours later! It finished, and the performance issues didn't stop there. I downloaded some TV shows from iTunes, and while it was downloading tried watching another show. SKIP SKIP SKIP... It was unwatchable. There is no way USB 2.0 is saturated by a DSL down load and a 480i TV program.
Copying a 500mb file from my internal mini hard drive to the MiniMax took over 12 minutes. This is USB v1 speeds, unacceptable. After working with Iomega support I lost all respect for this company and this product.
Needless to say the drive was returned to Amazon (easy process, way to go Amazon) and I've since researched and found a better product, "Newer Technology MiniStack V2". The cost was more, but rock solid performance is worth every penny to me!

Great hard drive. I've been using it for two years now and it had been a great help for backing up some important stuff and going from here and there. I strongly recommend it.
