Works with my MacBook Pro over Firewire just fine

My biggest worry in ordering this product was whether it would work without an additional power source (e.g., USB) over Firewire. Some reviews of other capacity Iomega drives had mentioned this as an issue with their computers.

I have the 15" 2.2 GHz MacBook Pro and it powers this drive just fine over the Firewire port, even when the MacBook Pro is running off battery.

The other question I had was whether the drive came with cables--it does, both a USB and a Firewire cable are included.

The included Firewire cable is obscenely long (3 or 4') to use on a lap tray on an airplane, so I will shop around for a 1' cable.

I cannot comment on the reliability, but the speed seems reasonable for a laptop drive, and it works for what I need. The Iomega name does not ring the sound of quality in my ear (having had a number of Zip drives in the day), but I figured I'd take the chance. So far so good!

Exactly as advertised

It will take me longer to write this brief review than it did to connect the drive to a USB port on the BookEndz dock attached to my MacBook and begin backing up the hard drive with SuperDuper. To somebody whose first computer was an IBM Convertible in the 1980s, the simplicity of today's technology never ceases to be amazing. The drive has performed flawlessly for more than a month, running 18-plus hours daily, seven days a week. The only improvement would be the addition some sort of protective slip case so I could carry the drive on client visits instead of lugging the laptop.
