Comments about Iomega 250GB Prestige Portable Hard Drive:
Great portable USB drive. I appreciate the shock absorbent feature since it is a small drive and could easily be mishandled while in transport. Drive comes with a great software bundle from Iomega/EMC for data backup, etc. The aluminum finish is sleek!

Comments about Iomega 250GB Prestige Portable Hard Drive:
This is my first portable hard drive so I'm not an expert on the matter. I use it to store all my media files. So far so good. It is easy to use (no drivers) and looks great (doesn't scratch). It came with a two pronged USB cord for extra power but I just use a regular one. That provides enough power to run it off my netbook.
