I decided to give this drive a shot when I saw the high ratings and the very reasonable price, despite having an old Iomega zip drive that suffered the famous "click of death" that Iomega refused to acknowledge or solve.
I don't know yet if that was a mistake, as I haven't used the drive. I do know that I am unable to access the backup software. The drive comes with a sheet with license codes to access a range of undescribed backup programs - but then none can be accessed with these codes on the website. It asks instead for a shorter serial number - but when you click the link for "Where do I find this?" it loops you back to the original website with no answers to anything and inadequate descriptions of the various software packages.
Given the auspicious beginning, I can't say I am holding out high hopes for the drive. Safe to say I will continue to maintain a second backup on the two Seagates I had intended to replace. I will have to use my old Norton Ghost to use the drive, and maybe it will work flawlessly, but this experience certainly doesn't speak to any improvement in the quality of Iomega's operation.Get more detail about Iomega Prestige 1 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive 34275.
