About this product
This Iomega external hard drive enclosure is designed for both 2.5" and 3.5" drives, offering connectivity via USB 2.0 and dual FireWire 800 ports. It allows users to house and connect their own internal hard drives externally, providing versatile interface options for data transfer and backup.
Our take
For those with spare 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives lying around, this Iomega enclosure offers a way to repurpose them into external storage. The dual FireWire 800 ports are a nice touch for users with older Apple machines or professional audio/video equipment, providing faster speeds than the included USB 2.0. However, the USB 2.0 interface itself is quite dated for modern PCs, meaning slower transfer rates compared to USB 3.0 or newer. It's a good option if those specific FireWire connections are beneficial for your setup.
