Iomega Desktop Hard Drive, USB 2.0, 2TB - 33950

I purchased this from Amazon because of the great price that was temporarily offered. It arrived & was making a lot of noise when turned on. I thought it might just be something that was normal with this drive. I checked the transfer speeds & everything seemed 2 be working great. This crackling noise that occurred when the drive was turned on continued 2 concern me as I have heard that same sound just prior 2 a drive crashing. I contacted Iomega & they agreed that the sound was that of a drive failing. They were great & agreed 2 send a replacement as soon as I sent them the broken drive. They got it, then sent me a replacement. The replacement drive arrived quickly, but there was immediate concern as it was a "reman" model. This concerned me as I had purchased a new model. I hooked up the replacement 2 my pc & it made terrible noises when turned on. I attempted 2 transfer some data & it reached a peak of 3.5 mb/sec. The model I sent back was over 8 mb/sec, as are the numerous other external drives I have on my pc. I have just contacted Iomega again, & I guess I will see what they say. Be cautious purchasing this, as I have had 2 & both were DOA.

The fan on this hard drive was so noisy that I had 2 return it. Only buy it if you can put it somewhere out of earshot.

Good solid construction, performs well & a great price. It looks very good. I plugged it in & away it went. 2 TB of storage 4 $148.99. I think I got a special price as I only paid US $148.99 4 a new unit plus $5.49 4 2nd day delivery. It arrived on time. Now unit is $304.00.

Great buy!! Thanks Amazon
