I have an 'Iomega' that works great. But don't buy another 'My Book' unless you check about the 'sleep' feature on them. I have one and it's working OK except for the 'sleep' on it. It goes to sleep after a certain length of time and then has to wake up each time I want to access it or save something. Drives me crazy. Wasn't aware of it when I bought it. I contacted support and they said that the sleep allows the drive to last longer and there's nothing that can be done. I was going to send it back but waited too long and now I'm stuck with it. Thanks for the reminder to back up my data on these imperfect machines.
