Question: CPU, Memory, or a Hard drive???? Which is better if you're desperatly in need of more space for music and videos and things like that????????
Document: I was in a hurry to get an external hard drive because my computer needs to be re formated so bad that I can't even back up my file on Cd's! I've had this guy for a little longer than a month, and I transfered all my pics and itunes music and videos so far and I still have TONS more space than I'll need. Those are really the only things that were sucking the space out of mycomputer.This was a good buy for an online purchase. It works terrifically. No software even nessesary.
I am very impressed when i got my 500gb Hard drive. Its not noisy at all and runs great!! Just like its advertised plug in and play! Its great for downloading lots of movies, and music or storing any games that you might need hard drive space for.I am glad that i got this hard drive and give this 5/5 stars! :)
hi, I film skateboarding and other things and i need something to give me more room because footage takes up alot of memory, so should i buy this to hold all my files, i see some people say it is only good for backup, someone help me out.
I needed more space for photos and music so I just wanted something easy to plug and play. the  Iomega did not need any set up and is very easy to use even for a very non-techy person like myself. It interfaces seemlessly with all my photo programs and I have even accessed it from websites to order photos. I turn it off when not in use because my techy nephew told me it would extend the drive's life so I don't have any trouble with overheating. I am pretty sensitive to noise and have never noticed any sound coming from the drive.
I reformatted to NTFS as a preference and this thing just plain works. I received an out of memory error when transferring my MP3s (large file, over 44 gig) but it was due to error in Vista (fix is with SP1). I hear a soft buzz coming from the power adapter not the drive, when plugged in. All in all, perfect device for music, pics, and videos. Great price and great product!
this is a great external hard drive. I haven't had any problems and holds SO MUCH information. I have tons of pictures, videos, documents, music, etc. backed up, and it's barely made a dent. The only thing I don't like is that it's bulky. It's somewhat large and has two cables (to the ac adapter and to the USB port). I think there are smaller, sleeker models out there now (I bought this about 1.5 years ago).
This was my first external hard drive. I bought it because of the October 2007 San Diego wildfires, when I had to evacuate and ripped my entire CPU out of the wall and chucked it in my car next to my thoroughly confused dog. Now I just back up my files every week or two, and if I ever have to clear out like that again, I'm set with this little bad boy.I am not sure how long it will take me to fill 500 GBs worth of space, but I will buy another one of these.I panicked at first because I plugged it in and nothing happened.
After a nightmarish experience with a new laptop computer, I decided to order this to back up all of my files. I've got over 10 years worth of digital pictures and documents, as well as a lot of music. The Iomega Desktop Hard Drive arrived faster than expected, which was great! I plugged it into my macbook and was on my way. The computer recognized the hard drive right away and ran it through my time machine software. I saved everything that I had on to the hard drive and still had plenty of room to spare.I like that this hard drive comes with a stand so that it can be set up on it's side if you're cramped for desk space.
I'm happy so far with my Iomega external HD compared to the "simpleTech" I had which is not reliable. it's still very recent for me to tell if the iomega will go bad as the simpleTech did....will know better in time.it has power button, connects easily via USB, cool blue light when it's on. it has a little noise when it's on but nothing compared to my laptop's fan but that's not a show stopper. I usually turn it off when I'm not using it but I've forgotten it on for few days and it didn't get terribly hot as I read on some other review about it, it was slightly warmer than usual but not even in the "hot" category.overall it's good, I have nothing to complain about (yet) and I would buy the same brand if I need more space especially that it has a very good price.
Remember the zip drive? This particular product, at Amazon's heavily discounted price, is an amazing deal. Certain reviewers complained that the product comes with 465GB instead of 500GB, but the reality is that ALL hard drives will show up as having less memory space than advertised because of formatting and primarily because of a difference in terminology:  the Iomega indeed comes with approximately 500,000,000,000 bytes of memory, but then the computer considers a Gigabyte to be 1,024,000,000 bytes instead of 1,000,000,000.
Answer: If you need more space to store data then you need a bigger (or an extra) hard drive.  The CPU determines how fast the computer can make calculations (which is all computers really do, after all), while the RAM (Memory) determines how much data the computer can work with at any given time without having to pause and read from the hard drive (basically, it can get complicated).So, if you need to store more data, more hard drive space is what you need.  If your computer gets bogged down easily or you run a lot of apps at once, get more RAM.  As for the CPU, meh, all modern CPUs are so fast anyway (and expensive) that you're probably better off not bothering.
