5 Stars 16G Sony memory stick
The product arrived on schedule and I was able to use it the same evening – it works as expected in both Cybershot and camcorder – saves LOADS of transfer time and adds flexibility to how long i can shoot video or stills without worrying about memory!

5 Stars Memory stick
It was very easy to purchase this product besides been so cheap. I had questions they were answer very promptly.

5 Stars Memory Stick PRO Duo – 16GB
16 GB is becoming more necessary with HD quailty videos, burst shots, etc. By having the extra memory, there’s less need for additional storage options.

Some complain about Sony’s proprietary Memory Stick as being “pricey”. Perhaps, but it is small, extremely reliable, and for me, worth the money. Incidentally, I paid less for the 16GB stick than I paid for a 1 or 2 version several years ago.

Definitely worth the costs when you’ll use it over and over for years.

3 Stars More memory, slow to load
This is a good memory stick, simply because it has a lot more space. But this 8gb card takes so much more time to load than a card with less memory. I purchased this card for a Sony Cybershot camera, and it takes about 30 seconds to load. When you are trying to capture a special moment, you’ll miss it waiting that 30 seconds for the card to load and for the camera to be ready to take a picture.

5 Stars Works with my cybershot
This memory stick works with my Sony Cybershot. That’s what I needed it to do. Now I can take photos. I don’t know what else there is to review on something like this.

5 Stars Just Awesome !!!
Every music lover should own of these . very happy with my Ipod . It has huge capacity to store music ,pictures ,videos .well personally i donot use it for anything else except music . Its serves the purpose very well .

4 Stars .
When I first purchased the Ipod Classic 6th Generation, I already have knew how the Ipod works, handles, etc. I have been really happy with this product, little shocked with how big of a box it was shipped with for such a small product, but not any of my worries. I have used the Ipod almost everyday, and I have had no worries about it. Hope this helps some.

5 Stars ipod classic
It has more features than I thought it was going to have. It has a ridiculously long battery life.

4 Stars iPod classic 120GB
This iPod is good but sometimes it’s frozen for a while. The touching button doesn’t work really well. But it is kool. I like it!

5 Stars It should’ve always been like this
I owned an iPod nano 8 GB (3rd Generation) and loved its size. Life at the gym could’t get any easier. But the dream ended when my playlist reached full capacity (wow, 8gb? you should be ashamed). Anyway, sold the little fellow and read some reviews hoping to buy the new nano (4th gen). Why the hell did they messed up with the compatibility? Thanks to all of you who wrote that it was not possible to turn off “shake to shuffle”, dealbreaker.

So, it was back to the review board, now regarding the Classic model, 6th generation. Yes, it’s a lot bigger, yes, I was used to the little one, but this is just amazing. Hey, I even use it as a external hard drive. It’s pretty slim and not at all heavy.

I think iPod Classic is a great buy. Even a movie is appreciated (though small screen, but it’s a lot better than no movie at all in a doctor’s waiting room, airport or travel).

Hope this helps and I really hope Apple will listen to their nano disappointed customers.

5 Stars Iomega Prestige 500 GB USB External HDD
I had some problems initially; but, after doing a clean-install (which I needed to do anyway for other reasons) I have not had any problems. I am probably most impressed with the amount of storage for the price paid.

I am using diversity for storing critical files. I have read these external HDD don’t last over a few years; but, for the price and convenience it gives me, I’ll pay it. Use multiple storage devices and you will be fine. These things are dirt cheap.

5 Stars Easy as Pi (not as difficults as i )
Plugged into my computer, Computer mapped to it automatically, I moved photos on to it. Easy. The only problem we have had – if I leave it on and reboot, it trys to boot from the drive. I have to make sure it is off before starting the computer – probably a setting issue with my computer and not the drive.

1 Star BREAKS soon after you get it
Had it 6 months and it broke and is trash. Lost massive data because I expected it to last at least a year so I could get a backup going on-line. NOPE. Drive broke probably after 2 months of use. Most of the time I had it unused.

4 Stars don’t have anything to complain about
Have owned this product for 2 weeks now. I have it hooked up to my ibook. I purchased it with the only intent to store all of my MP3s on it. I was worried initially because i read reviews saying it was noisy and the fan was obnoxious. I have not had any of those issues. I do hear a small click like noise when it does kick on to pull from the device but other than i think it sits dormant. I like it. No complaints here!

1 Star Garbage
I have one right now with all my pictures and files on it. It is dead. Iomega sent me a new power cord after chat diagnose. They said it wasn’t getting the power it should. The cord is identical to the one it came with and it still won’t turn on or boot up or transfer my pictures back to the desktop. They offered to exchange it which I will do as soon as I fugure out how to get my stuff off. The cost for them to remove my pictures: $700- $2900. I will take the exchange but I will probably sell it on ebay.
