Reviewed on 2008-07-23 Solid product I purchased this to backup my PC and access from a laptop. This hard drive is made very well, feels solid in the hand and is a convenient size (whiskey flask). The only demerit is that in the case of my laptop, I had to plug both USB cable terminations (it comes with a Y USB cable and one marked with a lightning symbol) into the laptop to get enough power to run it. When I used a single cable, the drive made a scary screeching noise. Otherwise it has worked beautifully so far. Recommended.

Reviewed on 2008-07-23 Works great I purchased this product so that I could set up a complete backup of my pc and also have additional storage for pictures. The Iomega drive worked as advertised. It was easy to set up. The software made it easy to set up complete and incremental backups. I only needed to use one USB slot to power the drive for my Dell laptoo. A "Y" plug is included to provide additional power for those who need it.

Reviewed on 2008-07-22 Smoothe Back Up Deilivered promptly with the great support of Amazon. Simple to install the software. Simple to use. A good value for the price. Very well constructed. Attractive to look at. I made a good choice.

Reviewed on 2008-07-09 Piece of Junk If I can, I give -5 to this piece of junk. This is my worst purchase of the year. Just don't work. I just do the long list that Iomega recomend and nothing. This is my first and last time that bought an Iomega product.

Reviewed on 2008-06-28 Solid and Sleek The eGo 250GB USB Hard disk is a solid little unit. The Cherry version is sleek and attractive. I have 3 of these now, and performance has been flawless. Pros: Solid reliable performance, rugged, fast, attractive, gets power from USB cable, affordable Cons: Activity LED indicator is recessed and difficult to see.
