Good product, but rebate was a scam.......2003-06-09

I'm enjoying having the flexibility of the external hard drive, but disappointed that the rebate turned out to be a scam. I cut out the only code on the side of the box and mailed it in, and they said that I did not send the right bar code. It is the only one on the box. I assume this is either an Iogear issue or one with the company that handles their rebates. It's a shame, because I know I won't buy a product from them again due to their exercising poor faith in following up on the promised rebate.

Does not fully work with Macintosh computers.......2003-05-07

This drive does not work as advertised. It comes formated as FAT32 for DOS and cannot be reformated for Macintosh unless using OS X - the box says it will work with Mac OS 8.6 and above. This is straight from IO Gear's technical support!

OK so far.......2002-11-21

You may be wondering, as I was, who is the manufacturer of the drive inside the Iogear case. It is an IBM Deskstar 60GXP (model IC35L040AVER07) - 7200 RPM, UltraATA/100, very quiet. The USB drivers work natively under Win 2000 and XP, very easy to use. It is a nice system and I'd like to see Iogear sell it with a better power supply, because the first time I plugged it into the drive, one of the cheapo pins bent and had to be bent back -- so be careful about that. But otherwise it's been fine.

Great External HD not the best price...........2002-08-15

I think this is a great external USB 2.0 HD. What I like most about this HD is USB 2.0 that is backward compatable with USB 1.0 and the 40GB.
