The Iomega Prestige Desktop Hard Drive USB 2.0 External Hard Drive offers capacities from 160GB up to 2TB (see table in resources below for all sizes) which covers an enormous range of consumer photo, music and video backup requirements. Because it only needs a USB connection for power (Energy Star rated) it’s a conveniently portable device. Accidents happen and the rugged aluminium construction and Drop Shock feature means it is capable of handling a rough travelling environment.

Notably, the Iomega Prestige Desktop Hard Drive has a 7200 RPM hard drive which has a data transfer rate some 33 percent higher than a external drive with a 5400 RPM spin rate. If you are transferring large quantities of data this is a significant difference. Western Digital have produced a detailed report on the benefits of a 7200 RPM HDD (see resources below). For smoother transfers the buffer memory is a sizeable 8MB.
Backup Software Included
