I purchased this unit to serve as a back drive for my primary system. However, after 50 days AND ONLY SIX BACKUP OPERATIONS the drive has given up the ghost. The drive was only powered up for the back up operations so it has been ON less that 12 hours. Checking the Iomega Web page and various forums for a fix or some clues as to what happened revealed that I am not the only one to have had the unit die after short time use; there does seem to be a mechanical problem that they are not addressing. I omega's attitude toward warranty work is pretty lame also... you can't TALK to anyone for free... only text chatting over the net that resulted in the following "send it back we will send you a new one" (well not really new; a refurbished unit that crashed for someone else). And to add insult to injury, Iomega won't pay the shipping costs. Needless to say, no more Iomega products for me or the firm where I am the purchasing agentGet more detail about Iomega Prestige 1 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive 34275.
