I LIKE THIS PRODUCT. IT IS A PERFECT COMPANION TO MY MAC MINI. IT IS VERY WELL DESIGNED AND BUILT, RUGGED AND LOOKS GREAT ON MY DESK. BUT DON'T BOTHER INSTALLING THE "RETROSPECT EXPRESS" BACKUP SOFTWARE CD, I CONSIDER MYSELF ABOVE AVERAGE WHEN IT COMES TO COMPUTER EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE BUT THE BACKUP SOFTWARE THAT COMES WITH THIS DRIVE I FOUND TO BE EXCESSIVELY COMPLICATED. I SPENT MORE THAN A WEEK OF LATE EVENINGS TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT AND I NEVER DID TOTALLY FIGURE IT OUT. THEN I HEARD ABOUT "SUPERDUPER", I DOWNLOADED IT FOR FREE FROM THE SHIRT-POCKET WEBSITE AND WITHIN A FEW HOURS I HAD MY ENTIRE HARD DRIVE BACKED UP AND A SCRIPT READY TO DO REGULARLY SCHEDULED BACKUPS.

SUPERDUPER IS A GREAT PIECE OF SOFTWARE AND VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND, (IT GUIDES YOU THROUGH EVERY STEP WITH VERY CLEAR EASY TO UNDERSTAND DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS, VERY APPLE-LIKE IN IT'S EASE OF USE. AS FAR AS THE DRIVE ITSELF I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT, A MUST HAVE FOR THE MAC MINI OWNER. Setting up the Iomega MiniMax is a breeze. Simply stack your Mac mini on top of the MiniMax and connect the two using the included FireWire and USB device cables. Plug in the power cable, flick the power switch on the MiniMax, and the drive will automatically mount on your Mac mini's desktop. The MiniMax is bootable via FireWire in OS X, so you can use it as a your startup disk if you¿d like. And you may want to, because in terms of speed, the MiniMax is one of the fastest drives for the Mac Mini.
