Iomega 320GB hard drive prior to buying does not say that it greedily uses 2 x USB ports and does not allow you to keep plugged in when other ports are needed for general usage.
This configuration is because it uses current from two ports in parallel. A black mark for not declaring this on the packaging.

I’ve just recently bought the 500gb iomega prestige hard drive and i am getting many problems with it. I have changed the partition and for a very short while i had it working for mac and windows but once i was finished using it on the windows computer it now does not work on either mac or windows. I was wondering how i could get it to work for mac and windows permanently.

This drive does not work with W7 64-bit.
It works well with XP 32-bit and Vista 32-bit
