Great Replacement for Bad WD 
My first external hard drive was a WD500, but two months after the warranty expired, so did the hard drive. It is now in my trash bin. I talked over the possible reasons for its early demise and it came down to the drive is always on, which could easily burn it out. The Iomega has an on/off switch, so I only have to turn it on when it is time to back up the computer. I think this may be a much better design and will give it a longer life.

This item is very easy to use. No one has a lot of time to do things and this product was able to take things off my laptop and put them on this hard drive very quickly. I also receive it in a couple of days.
Plugged it in and it worked
So far, I am extremely pleased with this purchase. It was delivered ahead of the promised delivery date and all I had to do was plug it in. I did re-format it to NTSF fromat but I have had no problems with it at all.
The drive works great, the backup software is another story 
The drive itself works exactly as advertised, fast, quiet, high capacity. Plug it in and it is ready to go.
The backup software included sucks. It installs fine and backs up selected files or the whole drive, but won’t restore the laptop to bootable condition. I had to run the system restore disks then selectively restore files.

Solid Product (So far)
I’ve had the Prestige for a little over 2 weeks now. It works great.
-There’s No annoying software (like my friend’s WD Mybook)
-Runs super quiet
-I’ve had it on for hours at a time and it only gets a little warm
-It’s got a cool stand
-It has a power switch
I’ve been very impressed thus far and would highly recommend this hard drive. Only downside is its actually about 465 gigs, but most hard drives are like that. The reason I say so far is externals seem to be prone to crashing if you read reviews. Hopefully it lasts forever though.
Again, Sweet hard drive.
