Iomega MiniMax Disassembly
Background and Identification
The Iomega MiniMax Hard Drive is a range of external hard drives made by Iomega. LenovoEMC (formerly known as Iomega) was a producer of external, portable, and networked storage products. Iomega and LenovoEMC have sold more than 410 million digital storage drives and disks. Iomega was the first producer of the removable floppy disk storage system, which was introduced in 1994.
An external storage device is an accessory that holds electronic files outside your computer. You can use external storage to keep extra files that you don’t need/want on your computer all the time or make a backup of your data in case of accidents. If you’re enterprising, you can also start your computer from an external storage device if your internal storage has failed.
The Iomega MiniMax Hard Drive is sold in 1 and 2 TB sizes. The hard drive includes a USB 2.0 and a FireWire 800 port. The MiniMax series is sold with a FW800-to-400 cable and a second FW800 port that allows users to daisy-chain another FireWire addition. Three additional USB ports allow users to employ the hard drive as a hub. The MiniMax hard drives are preformatted for the Mac operating system.
The Iomega MiniMax Hard Drive features a white polycarbonate top face and an aluminum trim. Iomega storage devices include the name “Iomega” printed in lowercase letters underneath the Iomega logo, which includes a stylized letter “i.”
