The Iomega MiniMax is a compact stackable desktop hard drive that takes up little space and is great for an expandable storage system. It has three FireWire ports and a three-port integrated USB hub and it stacks with the Apple Mac mini or additional MiniMax hard drives. It is 8.75 inches square and 1.375 inches tall, has a USB 2.0 transfer rate of up to 480 MB/s, and a FireWire 400 transfer rate of up to 400 MB/s. It comes with backup and disaster recovery software, so it is a good option for a computer owner that doesn't want to have to research their backup software options. It comes in a variety of size capacities: 1TB, 750GB, 640GB, and 500GB. Finally, the Iomega MiniMax comes with an interactive cooling system with a thermal probe that automatically regulates fan speed, a feature that can lend to a longer life span for the hard drive.
