after reading rave reviews of this product, and so many varying reviews of other well regarded hard drives, i thought for sure i had found a great purchase.
The initial set up went quite well, but as i attempted to load bootcamp on my imac, having used the Minimax as a Time Machine backup site, the Minimax completely crashed. Two days old. That's when i found out
iomega charges customers for phone support. Tech guy i chatted with was knowledgeable, although managing multiple cases simultaneously i presume. We went through various fix-it routines, none of which helped. He then informed me that my warranty stipulated i would have to pay to return ship, and they would send me a refurb. I was floored. Two days old and babied, and they were gonna to charge me and downgrade. I protested and received a slightly better deal. They would send me out a unit (still a refurb) and i could mail them my unit back in the box, which i was under the impression would be their cost, since they sent me a link through UPS to print a return label. Unfortunately, the page to print the label was fraught with bugs, and i have chatted twice with iomega about the issue, and both times was told they would talk with their support group and get back with me. Their reply was two emails detailing our chat, one with the warning that i had two weeks to return the old drive or be charged the full price of the replacement. I wonder if my refurb will cost as much as a new unit? Will not support iomega again.
