Iomega eGo Mac Edition 500 GB USB 2.0/FireWire 400/800 Portable External Hard Drive 34629 (Ruby Red) Review

Oh boy! The lovely red color and the sleek and compact look! What a looker this hard drive is. The color, must say, complements the décor of my home.


I leave my Iomega eGo Mac Edition 500 GB (Ruby Red) on overnight and without any activity and was glad to note that it did not turn off on its own. I could use it as and when I wish without needing to start up all the time.


I have my eGo Mac connected through the USB 2.0 to my Windows XP machine and the file transfer was pretty fast. Before transferring files I had to format it to NTFS which took about 2 hours. And it is aluminum casing, I wished there was a more Zing-kinda substitute. Maybe a sturdy, sleek plastic casing....still not to bother much about the casing, good going eGo Mac!
