Value External Drive . I found this drive a lot cheaper elsewhere than advertised on Amazon, but even at $75 or so it appears to be good value. It's a Samsung drive in an Iomega case. It works fine on the two PCs I have tried it with, though one hangs on boot-up if the drive is connected and powered prior to boot-up. It is not particularly fast - I measured it at 224 Mbps or about half the speed of an internal transfer on my particular test PC. On arrival I immediately did a scan to find bad sectors. There were none, though the scan took 7 hours - this is a BIG drive. It is fine for backups. Reliability is a problem according to some reviews on other sites but there are no infant mortality issues with my unit. I will try and remember to post a reliability update after a few months of use but in general Samsung drives are OK.
The case is a basic clamshell design but is light and seems rugged enough. The drive is not marketed as a portable drive. The combined power/data light is on the rear of the case next to the power and USB ports, which is not ideal. The unit is virtually silent and runs cool. There is no cooling fan.

Iomega Select 34966 1TB External Desktop HD Reviews
Good buy for the money! . I bought this to have a backup of my system and it does it smoothly. There wasnt any issue operting it for the first time - Pull it out of the box-plug it in- copy your stuff! And the copying speed is quite fast too! I didnt care much for its size as im not going to carry it everywhere i go. Overall a good buy for the money!
Con: Though it said 1TB it showed only 940 GB of space!
