@Shekhar , i agree with you that virtual partition is annoyinh but now Iomega has uploaded the utility on their website to remove this partition permanently (but it ll format the drive as well, dont forget to take backup). Hope this gives you one more positive edge to like this product.

One need to know that you cant use USB 3.0 straight away, its a new technology and not accepted by most motherboards so need to have a motherboard with USB3.0 or buy a express card to convert USB 2.0 to 3.0. ...

Hi All,

I ll make it as short as possible

- works with USB2?? Yes
- Speed?? Far better than my WD 320GB and Transcend 500GB
- Looks? Looks are good. But, do not trust the pic here. It is not as sleek as it appears.
- Sturdy? Well, I can clearly hear slight screeching sounds when I put some pressure on the panel (similar to pressing plywood). But, dropped it twice already and no problems so far
- Added features?
VClone is good, but windows comes back scolding you saying you are using a pirat...

I recently buyed this hard drive from flipkart , used it too much stylish , it gave me spped of 50 mps in my IBM laptop with 2.0 usb , but give 190 mbps speed with 3.0 usb . Really worth to buy this product . My frnd had Westren Digital hard drive 500 gb hard disk but its max. speed is 20 mbps with 2.0 usb .Really i was amazed to see this but . Now i can say buy iOMEGA it really worth of money .

Stunning black finish. Sturdy piece and comes with a drop guard that claims your HDD will survive a 7ft drop. Haven't tried that yet. Overall pretty cool, quite fast on USB 2.0 (Haven't tried out 3.0 yet). Comes with a 3 years warranty which has to be registered/activated online. Good buy!

IOmega products are as usual good. One can buy such HD's without any doubt. I am very happy with this product. I was little sceptical about it working on USB 2.0 But this product works on USB 2.0 zip zap zoom, don't need to even power it up with the extra USB connector provider.

About Flipkart -

Till now, I bought quite a few things from Flipkart -
AND they haven't disappointed. They have not left any space for me to complain. From ordering online to delivery, it's all again zip zap zoom....

Had ordered this in Nov 2011 and got it delivered within 30 hours.(thanks flipkart!) The product looks nice, not bulky. It comes with a encryption software and 2-3 additional data protection applications can be downloaded free from iomega website. The data cable is a Y-cable with 2 USB ends. The second one has been provided for additional power if the first one is not providing enough. Till date I never required the second one. Some users complain about the pre-occupied mount space. Thats not...

I did NOT purchase this product from Flipkart though.

1 GB movie was written in less than 20 seconds. Then I transferred 16 GB data to drive. It took 385 seconds, at about average 42.5 MB/s. Don't forget to plug-in both the USB end of Y-cable into two USB ports. The second USB port will power-up the drive further for better speed.

Initially had a problem running the drive in Windows 7, where the drive did not work properly. As I connected the drive the my laptop and tried to access the driv...

This is my first Hard disk & i bought it after a lot research....and the product is a real value for money. I got it in October within 3 days in a nice pack. The design is superb and really very attractive. It was at that time really cheap , so i feel lucky to have it at the best time. The speed of both ( Flipkart & Iomega HD) is astonishing ....A Real Great Buy....

Firstly, compliments to Flipkart for speedy delivery and good packing. As regards the product, i will discuss the good part first. It is sleek and smart looking device. The red band looks kinda cute. It works once i managed to format it. The added benefits of one year internet virus protection is unexpected bonus. Although i am not sure whether the anti virus protection is good enough. I will update the review after a few months on that part. The cons is that it took me some time to get the e...

BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED TO GIVE A ATTRACTIVE, COMPACT LOOK WITH THE RUBBER BAND AS A SMALL PROTECTION. THE USB CABLE SUPPLIED WITH IT HAS TWO WAY POWER WITH THE DATA TRANSFER - DOUBLE USB PORTS CONNECTORS. IT HAS THE USB 3.0 FOR FASTER TRANSFER IF YOU HAVE A NEW PC/ MAC WITH USB 3.0 INTERFACE THEN IT WILL WORK MUCH FASTER THEN THE OLDER VERSION USB 2.0 ALTHOUGH IT S COMPATIBLE WITH BOTH.

DRIVER GETS QUICKLY INSTALLED AND THE REST IS UPTO YOU EITHER YOU WANT TO ENCRYPT DATA ON THE HDD...
