Unreliable Portable Drive [Posted on 2008-02-04]
I purchased this portable drive for two reasons [1] to backup my desktop files, and [2] to transfer files from my desktop to my laptop.
The drive worked once, allowing me to copy all my data files (about 35GB) from my desktop (to the portable drive). Now I can't get this thing to power up, regardless of whether I use a single USB 2.0 port or single USB 1.0 port connection, or use the "Y" USB cable that comes with it to draw power from two source USB connections. My desktop is an older DELL desktop, but my laptop is a gaming XPS DELL. I can't get this thing to power up on either machine. This thing is a huge disappointment. I should have gone with another IOMEGA portable - at least that one never failed and powers up ever time!
