From the iomega site: "Iomega® REV™ 35GB/90GB USB 2.0 External Drive" I am with you, I doubt it is a true 90GB, but still impressive IMO. The ** re 90GB:

" **Compressed capacity assuming 2.6:1 data compression with "high" compression setting on Iomega Automatic Backup Pro software(PC only). Mac® compression using Dantz® Retrospect® is up to 70GB.
This capacity may vary since compression is data and software dependent."

*Edit* good price too, $279 from here (USB 2.0) http://www.shopharmony.com/product.a...e=PWH&i=REVUSB
