Product Description
1.5TB PRESTIGE DESKTOP HARD EXT DRIVE USB 2.0 8MB

Amazon.com Product Description
The Iomega Prestige 1.5TB External Hard Drive is an easy-to-use, affordable, and energy-efficient desktop storage solution. Featuring a stylish and durable aluminum design, plug-and-play functionality, and a secure EMC Retrospect Express software license for easy file backup, the Prestige is the easy way to store your photos, videos, and music, and to protect your important computer files.


The included stand lets you place the Prestige both vertically and horizontally. View larger.

With a 7200 RPM spindle speed and 8 MB or more cache, you'll have quick access to your data. View larger.
Plug-and-Play Simplicity and 1.5 TB Storage Capacity
The Iomega Prestige uses a USB 2.0 interface for fast data transfers with universal compatibility. The USB 2.0 interface allows for plug-and-play simplicity with a data transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps. Additionally, the drive is already preformatted NTFS, so you don't have to waste time formatting to use it.

The Prestige features a drive with 7200 RPM spindle speed and an 8MB or higher cache buffer. This provides performance that results in fast access speeds and low latency.

And with 1.5TB of storage capacity, the Prestige gives you the ability to store up to 6 million photos, over 27,750 hours of music, or 2,250 hours of video.

Stylish Aluminum Case
The Prestige has durable aluminum construction with a brushed-metal finish that will stylishly complement your desktop or workstation. An included stand gives you the option of either placing the drive horizontally or vertically.

Not only does the aluminum design look good, it also works to dissipate heat, allowing the drive to run cooler and quieter.

Backup Software Included
A license for EMC's Retrospect Express software is included (software is available via download), allowing for easy file backup that keeps your data safe. Also included is free MozyHome Online Backup, which provides 2GB of online data storage.

Compatible with Macs and PCs
Whether you have a Mac or PC, the Prestige will do the job. The drive requires a PC with Windows Vista, Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 Professional, and a Pentium II class processor with 256MB RAM and a USB 2.0 connection, or a Mac (PowerPC or Intel) with OS X 10.3 or above with a USB 2.0 port.

The Iomega Prestige 1.5TB External Hard Drive is powered by an Energy Star qualified adapter and is backed by a one-year warranty.

What's in the Box
Iomega Desktop Hard Drive, Connection Cable, Quick Install Guide, HTML User Manual and Help Files, Backup software license included, software via download (PC only).



The stylish aluminum enclosure complements your desktop.

4 out of 5 stars Lots of storage at a convenient price   July 26, 2010
Soto Santiago Juan Carlos (Guatemala)

+ A little noisy on init.



1 out of 5 stars Failed After 15 months!!   July 25, 2010
John Clabaugh (Salkum, WA USA)
This drive was great while it worked. I had no problems using it across multiple platforms. This morning the unit stopped working. I took it apart and tested the components, and discovered that it is the Seagate HD inside that failed. Just three months after the warranty expired.

Fortunately I have several layers of redundancy in my backup storage system, so I have all the data on another drive. But a hard drive should definitely last longer than 15 months.

I am never buying a product from Iomega or Seagate again.



1 out of 5 stars Piece of Junk   July 25, 2010
ryan_c_scott
Had the drive for a month. Put all my stuff on it off of my computer so I could reinstall my entire computer. All files transferred successfully. Used it a couple more time. When I got my PC fixed.....plugged drive in and it was fried. No excuse for this. All of my data, songs, pictures from the last 2 years....gone. $250-$1600 to get the data off of the drive. IOmega will replace it for free since its under warranty.....but they will not help getting the data off.


3 out of 5 stars Easy Install - poor software for backup   July 25, 2010
Robert D. Reinhardt
Drive is a snap to install - backup software download not easily found. Software not very flexible and somehow took control of another external drive's settings for backup. Will discontinue use of the backup software.


3 out of 5 stars Operation information poor   July 24, 2010
Cougher
Not easy to understand how to use it. Tech support did not understand problem. No printed manual.
