Advantages: great handy portable drive Disadvantages: none
I did buy this because i thought it very good and so the review that follows.
Design
The portable hard drive comes in an attractive silver and white case that has USB2 and FireWire 400 ports. It is a fully functional travel companion and easily fits into a rucksack or laptop bag. This is feasable because it weighs relatively little and is easy to handle.
Installation
The instructions were easy to follow ... ...plugged it in, so within 20 minutes i was backing up my files.
Performance
Performance is good for a portable hard disk, and there was no real difference in speed between the two interfaces. That said, it is only 160GB, which is a bit much when you can get a near-identical Western Digital Passport 120GB for £65.

Installation The instructions were easy to follow and it installed by windows wizard as soon as i plugged it in, so within 20 minutes i was backing up my files.

Features It doesn't ship with backup software, just file-synchronisation software, but this serves a similar purpose. A two-plug USB splitter cable and a six-pin FireWire cable are included so you shouldn't need to use an external power adaptor. The bundled Retrospect Express utility can back up your files according to a schedule and can store previous versions of files.
Conclusion
Based upon the competition i would not choose this drive, but it is a good performer and should be suitable for those who require a limited expansion of GB's.

Quick review of Iomega Portable Hard Drive Silver Series Hard drive 160 GB
This sleek portable hardrive is an excellent facility to take infomation anywhere, in a world where gigabytes is all that matters,160 gigs is plenty for an average user. Added bonuses are its speed (4200rpm), and most notably its queitness due to it having no fan. The ability to quickly update it through the standard usb port facility is standard for this sort of device but still worth a mention. Its very stylish casing enables the user to carry and operate it without having the hassle of looking like a wally. Overall I like this device but from prsonal experience a cheaper item could be found on the internet most natably a freecom hardrive. ...
