250 GB External HD -- Iomega--BLACK

Im selling this because i have no use for it anymore. I just started using a int. HD that i had sitting around in a case, have transferred everything off of this one and now dont need 2, so im gonna sell the one that is worth more. This drive is in excellent condition for a used unit. Has barely been out of my house, and only used on flat surfaces. All i used this for was to transfer files from my internal drive to this one so that i didnt waste space on the computer. Has stayed on for the most 10-15 minutes besides the one transfer i just made from one HD to the other, it was on for a few hours, but transferred close to 180 gigs, so its no slouch. Ive had it for probably a year or so, and will come with original box, unit, power cord and USB cable. The drive is 7200 RPM.

Seeing them online for 150+ shipped. Im just looking for 115 shipped.

old pics from when someone else was thinking about getting it. New ones if needed.

i will also leave it up to the buyer if they want me to take off the 80+movies, sopranos seasons (all of them except final season) the shield season 3-5 and a few other random seasons. Thats what the majority of this drive was used for, storing my movies and music. Ill either wipe it clean or leave that stuff for you to decide what to do with. Just thought id throw it out there.

Can you leave it on continously?

I was thinking of getting something like this to use as a "secondary" hard drive.

You can, but it wont last as long im sure. Ive always just turned it off after i was done using it. As long as the USB is hooked up, and its plugged into power, its going to be on though, you cant leave it hooked up and turn it off.

So you don't think it would last long as a secondary drive to be on? I was thinking of using this as my drive for my PS3.

No, im just saying that it being on ALL THE TIME would make it wear out faster, fact of life. The more something is on, the faster it is going to stop working, atleast thats my experience with things, but thats also why i always just transfer files and then turn it off. Im sure it would last as long as any other HD that was left on all the time, just not as long as it would if it was turned off after use. JMO though, and it means nothing as i dont have much experience with HDs or computers for other then internet use.
