Has anyone used the Iomega drive? Any other suggestions? Reliability and ease of use are more important to me than price.
On my desk I have 3 Iomega USB external drives (80GB; 250GB and 500GB) which I switch back and forth among several computers. I have not encountered reliability issues. I do have an intermittent problem when the 500GB drive (which I know for sure not the disk's problem) is connected to Vista. Vista (sometimes) does not see it at all But it is seen at all times by my XP. Go figure. I do like Iomega products which go on sale from time to time. Buy it then.

I am thinking of getting their RAID when I need to expand storage (due to growing volumes of RAW & JPG files)
