Advice: Iomega MicroMini Hard Drive

datk · 2006-04-22 17:56:45

I'm new to all this so apologies if I'm in the wrong spot. I want to get something to back up my laptop, especially photos which I want to keep at high resolution. Anyone got one of the following and any opinions on it? http://www.iomega-europe.com/eu/products.aspx?productId=micromini_hd_8gb&language=en&StaticPage=1 Thanks

Computers/Tech
would be more suited.

It's rather expensive for relatively little (€140 for 8GB)
Possibly better value for small form: http://www.shop4memory.com/products/portable-hard-disk.asp* or komplett.ie

I don't know anybody who purchased Iomega and had to return one so I can't comment on their after sales support. Generally speaking, their products are overpriced imho.

* Have a look for the other thread re: shop4memory - they get many thumbs up from myself and others. The HDD is a bit bigger and heavier but 250% capacity...
