Im shocked no one has used that GIN, Im working on getting more credits, I might use it. I have a few external HD's, and the only downside to them is they only have a limited lifespan, they dont last forever. Can you tell me about how old this is? Thanks!

This HD is two and a half years old - - - it's a one owner, I bought it brand new. You are right when you say they don't last forever - - - it's comforting to know that you get a longer life span if you buy top of the line - - - and "Iomega" is top of the line . . .

I am hoping this doesn't sound to stupid. But I'm over 60 so I get a couple. LOL
I am sure you don't want anyone else to have what you put on it. Will you or have you deleted everything on it ?
Thank You For Your help
