I've got an Iomega 250GB that I've had for about a year and a half. I opted not to get the dual interface version, and haven't regretted it yet. It hasn't had a super hard life - I don't vid, but I do take it with me on trips. It's got all my media on it, so I use it all the time. I also never turn it off. No problems yet. I bought mine from CompUSA *only* because they had a rebate, but I buy a lot of my tech crap from newegg.com - their prices are usually excellent.
