Customer Review: This is the improved eGo 500GB USB drive
Summary: 5 Stars
Iomega's eGo 500GB portable USB HDD has been redesigned. When you purchase, make sure you are buying the new version.
I bought this portable HDD specifically to back up my iTunes directory, which is approaching 300GB. I also own another Iomega 500 GB portable HDD, and when I ordered this one I thought I was getting another identical unit. This one has been updated, and apparently for the better. This one is shaped like a slightly large deck of cards rather than as a whiskey flask configuration like the older model. It also has nice little rubber feet. But the big improvement seems to be that it is somewhat thriftier regarding whether it could draw sufficient power from the USB ports. This unit easily functioned in one of my computers in which the USB port was insufficient to power the earlier model. I do not know if this is a quirk or whether Iomega improved the design.
Further substantiating the theory that this unit is redesigned to be more power-efficient is the fact that it runs much cooler than my earlier model. I mean hugely cooler. I have moved about 400GB of data onto this unit, and it is barely warm above room temperature. Hard to believe that this does not represent a significantly better re-engineering of the drive.
Installation could not have been easier--there wasn't any. The unit came pre-formatted for NTFS and I simply plugged it into my Windows 7 machine and it was immediately recognized. I renamed the unit "Red Bounty" by right-clicking "properties" and within 30 seconds I was backing up iTunes.
Highly recommended.
