Released January, 2008
The Pros:Relatively inexpensive for this high capacity of storage. Does not include or require installation of any software, unlike many externals. More stylish and compact than previous Iomega models.
The Cons:Customer service from Iomega is highly frustrating. Compatibility issues with some Mac computers (e.g. iMac), despite advertised compatibility. Somewhat lengthy (10 seconds +) time lapse when waking up between file transfers.
