Awesome little drive

I don't know a lot about computers, but I knew that I needed something to store my pics and music on (as they were filling up my hard drive). I bought this rather then adding to my hard drive and I am so glad I found it. It rocks! It took me 30 minutes to load all my stuff and free up my hard drive. Amazon's price can't be beat and Iomega is a great brand. Very happy with purchase!!

Great Little hard drive

Great little hard drive (I store all my music (Itunes program and music)and Photo programs on it). These are all easily accessiable just by pugging in the drive. (It treats it like a C drive)so there is no problem getting pictures from one drive and then altering them with a program on another. Plus my music and video files were getting so large it took up almost half my hard drive. Having if off the hard drive has made my computer run a lot faster, It has a ton a space for something so small. I do recommend getting the case for it unless it will be out 24/7. It is so small it could get lost,stepped on, etc. Better safe than sorry. It transports great in the little case also. I would diffently recomend this for someone who needs more computer space. It is awesome! Much better than some of the other brands I tried in the past. A++++++

Tight little package

We have been using this as a back for our Macbook's Time Machine. It's compact, clean, easy to use, and quiet. We are happy with it so far (about 2 months of use) and can recommend it if you are looking for something very portable and efficient. Looks great too.

What more can you ask for?

Not only is this thing a really great little drive, but it is very sleek and stylish as well. I like that it has both firewire and usb. The feel and look of the drive is top-notch.

I've copied a bunch of stuff on and off of this drive and it works really well. It doesn't seem slow to me at all. (some other people have said it runs a bit slow, but I don't notice it)

So far I have used it on a desktop PC, a new Macbook (not pro), and a powered USB belkin hub that's hooked into my iMac. I've NEVER had to plug in the second power USB cable on any of these computers. Just plugging in the one USB plug provides enough power. I guess the second plug is there just in case you happen to plug the drive into a older or odd-ball computer (most likely a laptop I bet).

Everyone I've shown this drive to says it looks like a flask... I'd agree :-)

Vista AND MacBook Pro Compatible

I always look at the top three most favorable reviews as well as the bottom three least favorable reviews before making electronic purchases. I have to agree with everyone who has rated this highly. I purchased the 250GB USB only drive to assist with transferring files from my Vista desktop computer to my new Macbook Pro. Since I preferred the 200GB 7200rpm hard drive on my Mac I also intend to use the eGo for additional storage.

I received the drive today, hooked it up to my Dell and copied files I would need for the Mac. I then connected it to my Mac using only ONE USB connector and immediately transferred the files on the eGo to my Mac at a much faster speed than they were copied from the Dell. I did not need to use the extra USB power connector, but had I needed it my MacBook Pro is equipped with three USB ports, two of which are side-by-side. Hmm, I wonder if connecting the extra power cord on the eGo would improve my speed even more.

To respond to complaints from others who don't like the fact that Retrospect must be downloaded, Vista has it's own backup program as does the Mac. I appreciate not having to dump the program from the eGo prior to using it, though had I needed it I still would have preferred downloading the most current version.

Bottom line: This is a very portable (about half the depth of the WD), sleek designed drive, not to mention that it comes in a variety of colors which allowed me to color match it to my laptop skin. No hesitations - I'd buy it again!
