Iomega EGo USB 2 Review

I've had this product for a little over a month and have used it probably 10-15 times, both for large transfers (over 100GB) and small single file transfers. I mainly use it to access files between my XP desktop and my Vista laptop. The only problem I have is that the drive is not recognized when I plug it into the USB port for the first time. I have to unplug and plug it back in before the drive is recognized. I haven't encountered any data loss issues yet, but only time will tell…

The fact that I have so little to say about this product proves that it does what it's designed to do. If you need a portable hard drive for backup, this is for you.

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

After a month of researching portable hard drives and comparing drives from manufacturers like Toshiba, Seagate and Western Digital, I chose this drive mainly based on the review I read on cnet.com. Disk writes files very well fast and is very easy to use. I also bought a small black external hard drive case to store and protect the hard drive when not in use. They are made for each other! One point I should mention is that if you're using Windows, you MUST reformat the drive. The drive is…

I always look at the three best ratings and the last three worst before I buy any electronics. I have to agree with everyone who rated it highly. I just bought a 250GB USB drive to make it easy to transfer files from my Vista desktop to my new Macbook Pro. Since I prefer the 200GB 7200RPM hard drive on my Mac, I intend to use the eGo for additional storage as well.
