I bought this device in the 2TB version. As a hard drive it is good but as a media player it is horrible. DON’T BUY IT! The graphical User Interface (GUI) for video and music are fine but photos gets a completely different GUI. Why? It is a bunch of grey boxes that are named only for the current one selected. If you have a large collection as I do with photos separtaed into different folders, the interface is useless. I complained and try to return the box but they wouldn’t take it back. Please don’t be fooled as I was. This is a really bad device!
This devise is terrible make sure you read the support forums @ http://www.iomegasupportforums.com/phpbb2/viewforum.php?f=11 before you think of buying one of these. Almost nothing works properly. Also does not support DTS and no native win 7 support. Almost impossible to watch a Movie on it because of constant freeze ups, and a reboot takes for ever.
