Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Iomega eGo USB 2.0 320 GB Rugged Portable Hard Drive (Ruby Red)
Customer Review: Nice and portable
Summary: 4 Stars
I read a lot of bad opinions about this drive, all of them after I confirmed my purchase :-( . Anyway, the drive is performing really well. The main problem I read about was the "double USB connector": I tested the drive in 3 PCs and none of them needed the extra power of the second USB connector, being enough with only one.
The only two things for withdrawing a star are the micro-USB connector in the drive being in the same side of the activity led, so I can not see the led when I connect the drive through one of the rear USB ports in my PC, and because the Retrospect software is very, very bad. (I am right now using the drive to do images of the disk with DriveimagXML)
Customer Review: real nice

I just attached this drive to my 10 in Acer - recognized it right away running Windows XP - I copied about 10 gigs of image and music files with no problem - in about 10 minutes. I kept it attached with the laptop running for 3 hours - it did not get hot like others have mentioned - hardly even warm - not sure if leaving it attached would result in a hot to handle item - but I think that at least for a few hours heat will be no problem.
It was formatted in NTSF out of the box - I did not have to do anything so I am not sure why others did. If it holds up, and I think it will since I do not plan to use it on a daily basis, then this was a nice buy
Customer Review: Easy Fix!!!!!

I got a laptop a while back. I had a desk top. My desk top crashed. Had no money to get top of the line new desktop. Have been using my laptop as the main at-home computer for four years one. Its hard drive ran out of space, only 40 gigs. I thought that it was going to be expensive, but this portablke hard drive was cheap! I put off installing it for two weeks, thinking that it was going to be hard, it installed it in under five minutes. Moved all the agmes and photos onto it in another 2 minutes. Amazing!
I also got a hard case to protect it if I ever move. Best buy I made in a long time!
Customer Review: Everything in a Small Package
Summary: 5 Stars
I need to transfer large music files between my office and home production studios. I already had the 160GB model and wanted a larger device for my MacBook, so this was the logical choice.
The 320GB model is twice the capacity in the same physical space, and is perfect for the portability I need. Also, the USB 2.0 connection with my MacBook is very fast, transferring 2GB .wav files in about a minute. And the additional upside is that everyone who sees it thinks its a whiskey flask, which only adds an air of danger and recklessness to my reputation!
Customer Review: Iomega eGo 320 GB Portable Hard Drive
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been looking for a portable hard drive for some time when I decided to check out some reviews myself. The Iomega came in way above everyone else for durability. Now I am not planning on driving over my new drive with a truck or anything, but just in case I drop it and something stupid does happen, it is nice to know that this thing will be good to go! It is also really cute - bright red and small. But it is easy to use and holds plenty of data. It will be by first choice for a gift when I need to get one for someone else.
