Review on Iomega EGo USB 2 by Joshua Huan

I know, I know - your Western Digital Passport is a lot lighter than my Iomega. It's also less bulky. But mine looks nice with steel body ends and a metallic color. Okay, I'll admit it - I bought this one because it was cheaper ($88) than the Passport - satisfied? But yes - it's pretty reliable, no problems in the last month of using it. Okay, I realize it's a pretty short month to see how long he'll be my boyfriend. But at least everything is going smoothly for us today. Since my 250GB mate is "portable", that means it doesn't need a power adapter to run - it just runs from USB. So make sure your friend's choice is a "portable hard drive" and not just an "external hard drive". EMC's free (I like the word free) backup software is good too. It is very easy to create automatic backups. Thing! However, remember that the backup is stored in a data file. Therefore, you cannot browse the folders in the data file backup in Windows Explorer. If you want to frequently access files on your hard drive (e.g. songs, pictures, documents), you should copy them directly using Windows Explorer instead of backup software. smaller size It also saves you a few bucks on coffee.
