Customer Review: Iomega FW/USB Mini 160 GB HD
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this item about 4 months ago! It has been really great! I use it with my 2006 Model Apple 17" PowerBook G4. I take a lot of pictures with my 12 Megapixel Canon 5D and I'm running out of space even with the original 120 GB hard drive of this fine Laptop computer.
*** What I Like about it (PROS)
1. Requires no power adapter or AC Cable
2. Firewire works fine with some computers where the standard USB does not provide sufficient power
3. Includes the $20 double USB cable for computers like mine that does not provide enough USB power
4. It's silver and a prefect match for Apple PowerBook and MacBook Pro computers
5. Drive is bootable with a Mac, so you can install another operating system (I run Leopard 10.51 from the computer internal HD, and Tiger 10.4.11 from this External Drive
6. Heavy duty Firewire cable.
7. Nice Blue light that shows Drive activity.
*** What I Don't Like about it (CONS)
NONE or perhaps FW cable is a bit too long.
I originally purchased the WD Passport 120 GB Drive, but using it was a problem. It never worked with the above mentioned Laptop without additional power. I used a powered USB hub and connected the Western Digital Passport to it to make it work. Although this drive has the same issue if used with a USB cord (mini to Standard), this IOMEGA provides 2 solutions to this problem: 1) it provides the double USB cable that should have been included with the WD Passport and wasn't, and 2) it works fine when you use the FireWire Connection. Problem solved and I'm happy with this product.
