Unreliable?

I bought this product because of its low cost, clean design and the established Iomega name, which I hoped would give some indication of quality and reliability. The review above is a fair description of the product, although I've been very disappointed with its reliability. I've had three failures over six months, so if you're planning to use it as a backup device or primary storage I couldn't recommend it.
