Iomega MiniMax 550 GB
Excellent product, easy to set up. The perfect companion for Time Machine application on a Mac or just for storage. Plenty of space and comes with all the wires.

Perfect for me. One year and still running.
Near silent. Completely dependable. Works beautifully with 4 different Macs I’ve hooked it up to (even my old eMac running OS X 10.3).
