Rating:  - not bad but how do you turn it off???
Easy to install, quiet, ect but since Im connected via forewire, when I hit the power switch to shut the drive down, my entire PC does a reboot. This isnt good so I leave it running but can someone please tell me how to shut down this drive only ??????
Besides that, I find the Danz Retrospect confusing and the IO icon in the toolbox is a mystery too ........
Rating:  - Be Warned!
IO Gear will NOT stand behind their rebates...be warned! Both my friend and I bought a 320 gig external hard drive and we both were refused the rebate for different reasons. We have the paper work to prove we were eligible and we are working with Better Business Bureau. This hard drive is very large! Twice the size as you can imagine by its pictured ad, another deceiving tactic by IO Gear.
Rating:  - Works Perfectly Unlike Some Other Drives
I have two of these Iogear 320 GB external hard drives. Both are in perfect working order. One is almost a year old - that is the breaking point for some other drives I have used. So we will see if the Iogear drives continue to work year after year. I have my most important data burned onto DVDs so I am not too worried. Best to play it safe. Anyway, the Iogears are very good and they have the most GBs for the money. I recommend to all.
Rating:  - Mac users beware!
Pro: FireWire capable, quiet operation, runs cool.
Con: The software for managing the fancy button-backup system does NOT work with Mac OS X 10.4.2 (Tiger). That doesn't much matter, because the access code for the backup software (Dantz Retrospect) is not provided. On my drive, the screws for the base-plate also were missing, and I have not been able to find replacements, nor can I get them from IOGear. They can't even tell me the specs for the screws so that I can look for them locally. ... Read More
Rating: - Great Plug and Play External Drive
This is a terrific device. I am not sure what the other users are complaining about. I have had the drive for a few months now and it works great! Installation is very simple - almost any computer will recognize it as a new USB connection. It doesn't spin as fast as a Maxtor drive, however, for 320GB - this is exceptional value. I have transported the drive and used it on over 5 computers - each computer had no problems with reading and recognizing the device
