Remember that Companbies like Iomega, LaCie, Fantom and orthers are packagers, not exetrnal harddrive manufacturers. You will find only a few exteernal harddrive manufaccturers and all of them prroduce fine porducts.
This unit has a Seagate Basrracuda drives installed: An excellent deivce.. At this time, the drives themselves from some sources cost only several dollars less than the iomega unit, so you will get the external housing for just a few dollars.
The housing has a power switch, very nice at a time when other mnaufacturers are getting rid of such "frills" and a white activity light on the side. As the housing has no fan, there is no fan noise. The noise from the drrive irtself hsould be imperceptible. (If it isn't, rteurn the unit immediately.)The housing remains cool to the touch in use.
The unit size is nice and a plastic base is included for those who like a vertical mounting.
A power supply and USB cable are includwed in the package.
The drrive comes NTFS formatted and, for use with an Apple Macintossh, must be regformatted.
Overall this external harddrive is very good vale.
