Both external hard drives carry good review from customers; however the 1TB does seem to have a slight edge. So far no large complaints have been given in regards to the Iomega, but one user did report his Toshiba showing up faulty and making a clicking noise. Despite this issue it seems to be a one time deal and this external hard drive is still more than worth its price.
