Gaming Are iOmega Ext. Hard Drives Good??

[SamAsh07]

I recently decided to get myself an External Hard Drive and a one day offer for an external iOmega hard drive is about to arrive at stores in 4 days, I never heard of this company, so here I ask, are iOmega ext hard drives any good?? What were your experiences with one?? If you ever tried one that is.

Yes, they definitely are.

Pre-built external drives generally use pretty low-quality enclosures, which are prone to suffer from overheating and other mechanical errors.

You're far better off purchasing an internal drive and decent enclosure separately.

They use to make zip drives. If you don't know what they are here is some background on them:

Yes, because the drives inside are Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 5400rpm (If you are getting a 1TB drive)

My friend got one a few months ago and it's the best drive ever
