Detailed review
A well built, (stylish) reliable backup and storage drive with good warranty (2 years). It has FW 400 and 800 as well as a host of USB ports for use as a hub.

Downsides? Well it has no sleep mode (fans always on) - other drives can be left on and spool up and down when needed as per my Western Digital Drive. I'd prefer that.

Bought direct from iomega and no problems - good price for the storage size (2TB).
