Plug-and-Play Simplicity and 1 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 1TB of storage capacity, the Prestige gives you the ability to store up to 4 million photos, over 18,500 hours of music, or 1,500 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 1TB External Hard Drive is powered by an Energy Star qualified adapter and is backed by a one-year warranty.

(1 stars) - Lost all of the stored data in the first year
Lost all of the stored data in the first year. Now can't retrieve any of the files.
If you want to stiore valuable information, don't get this product.

(5 stars) - Nice looking unit with alot of storage and extras!
Its nice that the unit comes with extra's, like 6 month free Mcaffe virus software and automatic backup software access, buts its even better its not preloaded, you can go to a website to download it. I choose not to go with the extras, but if you also need virus protection, this might not be a bad idea to save some more cash.

The unit looks nice. Its stainless steel( i think, or looks like it) and can add some nice bling to a desktop without being "too much". Vertical mount is a nice option, saves some desk space. Makes a small noise here and there but nothing that I would even notice.

1 TB for under a $100 and all the extras! You cant beat this one.

(1 stars) - Don't ignore the bad reviews, as I did when I bought it!
As of the time I am writing this review, there are 110 negative reviews (1-2 starts) out of 685 (16%!!). Granted, content customers may be less likely to bother writing a review, but don't be fooled: you will LOSE big money and precious time if things turn out wrong, as they did for me and many others. My drive failed within a month, and once that happens to you, take note!, and although well within the warranty period, 1) you will never be able to speak to a real person (just chat on Iomega's website to their "customer service", i.e. more waste of time), 2) you will have to pay for the item return out of your own pocket (believe it or not), and 3) if you happened to had put some data on the drive with no backup somewhere else (and after all, some drive has to be first anyway, and even if you are planning to backup right away, drive failure may happen first!), then you will have to take care of data recovery yourself before shipping back your drive, because data recovery, of course, is not covered by the warranty (that's when you will LOSE BIG $$, just check Geek Squad prices for reference: approximately $55 for diagnosis, plus $250-$1,500 depending on the severity of your case). Bottom line, if things go wrong, and they do!, the low price of this item pales next to all the expenses and pain you will go through. And after all that hassle, what's the point of sending back the failed drive to Iomega anyway, just to "recover" $100-S&H by getting back another drive that, chances are, may turn out as another piece of junk! So... you were warned!

(5 stars) - Great product
Got this product to save photos (just returned from a safari in Africa with literally 1500 images plus lots of video) as we already have another external hard drive to back up our C drive. Very simple to use, works like a charm, can't ask anything more from an external hard drive.

(5 stars) - external hard drive
I haven't actually checked that the hard drive is copying all the data, but assume it is. It gives comfort, and maybe that's worth having it.
