The manual on CD was much better, as was online support.

FIREWIRE 800 EXTERNAL DRIVE INSTALL
Iomega's hard-copy install guide and other documentation is sufficient to get you going, though we're not in love with the way it's folded or its tiny type sizes. Automatic Backup works in the background to perform file-level backup prompted by changes to said files or at intervals you specify. We like the bundle of backup software that the Iomega HDD ships with it includes Retrospect Express 6.5 for the Mac, Norton Ghost 2003 imaging software for the PC, and Iomega's own slick Automatic Backup software. The problem is particular to reading and writing large files, though the drive was actually one of the fastest we've seen at copying our 400MB folder of mixed files. It took the drive a whopping 4 minutes, 47 seconds to finish reading and writing a single large file - far slower than the LaCie and one of the slowest USB 2.0 performances we've seen to date. If we seem a bit FireWire-centric so far, it's because the Iomega's USB 2.0 performance was extremely disappointing. In our informal hard drive tests, the Iomega drive performed in an identically spectacular fashion on both FireWire 400 and 800, taking only 3 minutes, 11 seconds to complete our informal 400MB folder and 1.9GB file read and write tests - 10 to 21 seconds faster than the LaCie Triple Interface with FireWire 800 and 400. You'll need RAID software or a RAID card that supports external drives to do this.īut you might want to hold off on that expenditure for a while if you intend to run the Iomega HDD alone.

The FireWire 800 capability is great for stacking drives in an external RAID setup where FireWire 800's superior bandwidth can really make a difference. To take advantage of the FireWire 800 capability, you'll also need either a new high-end Mac or a FireWire 800 adapter card, such as the Adaptec FireConnect 8300 or the Belkin FireWire 800 PCI (we used the Belkin for testing). The Iomega HDD draws too many watts to run off of bus power, so Iomega provides an AC adapter, along with USB 2.0 and FireWire 800 cables oddly, the package lacks a FireWire 400 cable. Smaller capacities - 160GB and 250GB - are also available. It makes for an imposing brick at 1.2 kg (we looked at a 400GB model), though the weight is a reflection of the drive's large capacity and the enclosure's sturdy construction. The Iomega HDD is about average size for an external 5.25-inch desktop enclosure: 198mm by 41mm by 122mm (WDH). The unit is great for gigabyte-hungry Mac or PC owners with FireWire, but the drive's sluggish USB 2.0 reading and writing of large files will disappoint many users. Iomega's External Hard Drive FireWire 800/FireWire 400/USB impressed us with its large capacity, speedy FireWire 400/800 performance, and nice array of backup software.
