I've been looking for a good back up hard drive on which to store my photographs, so I couldn't resist trying the Iomega eGo when it was offered for review by Amazon Vine.
I'm a firm believer in plug and play when it comes to technology as I don't want to waste time on configuring, etc. The Iomega eGo definitely satisfies in that regard! It works just like any other USB flash drive as nothing extra is required to make it work on the PC (note: I don't have a Mac but the instructions indicate that formatting on a Mac is required). Please note that when the instructions mention that the short line on the USB cable is for auxiliary power, well, they really mean that. It won't work if you plug in the wrong USB cable. Overall, the instructions provided are straightforward and simple- 2 pages in length.
The design of the Iomega eGo appears to be fairly sturdy and rugged. It was a bit warm after using it for about 45 minutes but not to the point I worried it was overheating in any way. Apparently there is free software available for download but I'm a little leery as I've had bad experiences with conflicts between different security programs in the past so I probably won't try that.
Overall, the Iomega eGo USB 2.0 320 GB Compact Portable Hard Drive 34886 fits my needs perfectly. Easy to use, portable, and sturdy in design, it is a good start for anyone like me first venturing into the use of portable hard drives.
