Hard Drive at fire speed is tops . Wow. I have used many different hard drives some good some irritating. WD stay away too noisy, slow and cannot figure out when to stop spinning and bouncing around (read head i suppose), Maxtor solid drive but moderate transfer speed. The Iomega MiniMax is blinding fast.
I have an older Mac with 75 gb of data and programs and i just dragged the entire contents to the Minimax and it copied it faster than i have ever seen.
This would have taken days with standard drives. Fire wire is king. Very compact, quiet operation and powerfully functional. Makes a great back up system. Forget Ghost unless your garding top secret data and dont mind hiring IT tech to see it again. Would buy again for other PC's. At this point Going back to usb would be like moving from dsl to dial up. Good solid drive, quiet and very fast. Do you hear it running? Neither do I.

Fast stackable & added firewire ports . I have a 500GB & (2) 750GB of these Iomega MiniMax drives and they are quiet, fast and for over a year now, no problems at all. They are also very nice looking. Being stackable with additional firewire & USB ports, I have my firewire CF card reader plugged into one of the drives and can download an 4GB card in less than 5 minutes. I use a 24" IMAC w/Leopard and use mostly for photography.

Iomega MiniMax Hard Drive, FireWire 400/USB 2.0, 750GB - 33956 Opinions
perfect companion . I bought a mac mini and this disc is perfect for it, it has the same size of my mini, even though the disk got damage in 1 month, for some reason the disk started to sound weird, but the seller sent me a new one right away, fortunately i had a backup of my lost data. I sill thinking that is a great selection I'm still waiting my new one doesn't fail.

Cons Review
Included cable won't connect to current Mac minis . I like the MiniMax because it stacks neatly under a Mac mini, but since March 2009 Mac minis have had Firewire 800. Not only is the MiniMax still Firewire 400, which is half the speed, it does not even ship with the right cable (FW400-to-FW800) to connect to a current Mac mini. If you have an old Firewire 400 Mac mini then this is a great drive, otherwise I suggest waiting until Iomega updates the product line to Firewire 800.
Here's the official Iomega Technical Support response: "The answer to your question is no, the MiniMax does not and will not be packaged with a 400 to 800 Firewire cable. You will need to contact Apple to obtain the cable that you are looking for. -- Hal, Iomega Technical Support"
