Rating: - LOUD.
It's got space and lots of ports but I can hear it in my bedroom from my office two doors away. It's just way too loud.

Rating: - Runs extremely hot under Mac Extreme Base Station
Despite the fan and heat sink capability, my Iomega MiniMax ran increadibly hot under by Mac Extreme Base Station - really to the point where I couldn't put my hand on the Extreme Base station. No way this can be good for anything. I love the idea and looks, but I had to return it in a day.

Rating: - I really wanted to like it...
I bought a couple of these to use with my iMac, one as a primary data drive and one as a backup drive. My plan was to put them under my Airport Extreme Base Station since they are the same form factor. The feature set is great: three FW400 ports and a 3-port USB hub.

Rating: - Reliable so far; not that noisy
I have this attached to my Mac mini, where is serves as the backup drive for 3 computers over the network.
It has been working well so far (4 months) of 24/7 backups, and the assortment of ports is a nice complement to those of the mini.
It can make some fan noise when it is heavily used, but it doesn't bother me at all even when I am watching TV (it is located under the TV).
I wouldn't put it in my bedroom though (some noise, plus that bright blue LED!).

Rating: - MiniMax 500 GB Ext. Hard Drive -Good Buy
I read the reviews prior to purchasing this hard drive, which is my first one. Jaguar immediately opened a prompt to format the MiniMax 500 GB ext. drive. I clicked okay. The formating took place immediately and my files are working perfectly. I was concerned about the review that stated that the drive was noisy. I heard a humming sound the first few days that it was running. But the humming was not constant. After a few days the drive is totally quiet. I mean quiet. The humming sound is no more. The ...
