Summary: Quiet, light and beautiful exterior! 2010-03-09
Comment: This hard drive is so conveniently light, and comes in a sleek red that keep my friends and family in envy. Every time i have used it, it has been super quiet and does not heat up. My friend dropped it while it was in use, and it suffered no adverse effects and the backup did not falter.

Summary: Iomega eGo encypt USB portable external hard drive. 2010-02-28
Comment: I bought one of these for work, mainly because of the encryption.
Easy to use but within a week (i.e. about 3rd time I tried to backup my laptop to it) it gave a read / write error from the task-tray area and refused to respond. In the end I was forced to just pull the cable: wiped everything and couldn't get it to respond on any computer. Sent it back.
I've had a Toshiba for 2 years and it has been bullet-proof (and smaller). Just a pity it wasn't encrypted or I'd stick with Toshiba.
I had an Iomega Zip drive many years ago and that (while a great bit of kit) was prone to being tempermental. Looks like nothing much has changed.
If you're using this for backup I'd seriously consider other options first.

Summary: Works Great On My Mac MacBook 2010-02-17
Comment: This little hard drive works great on my MacBook. You do need to format the drive for your Mac, but the included instructions guide you step-by-step and it only takes a few minutes. I use this for extra storage on my MacBook, since I ran out...I use it mostly in my office, but it is small enough to easily slip in my laptop case and bring it on the road. Great value.
