"QC Not Very Good" on by jlaurance
Pros: Worked as advertised. Looks great.
Cons: Runs way too hot. Quality control let this one through their checks with a cover falling off.
Summary: Assuming most don't have the problem this one did, it is a great looking drive that works well but runs way too hot.
Out of the box the metal cover fell off and was supposed to be glued on. Couldn't get it to stay on the drive. Also it was so hot after an hour of running, it was not comfortable to hold in your hand. But it did work OK.
Returned it for a different brand. -
"Performance all the way!" on by GeithElliot
Pros: Sleek, compact, drop guard technology, additional power port attached, free license codes for software downloads
Cons: None so far
Summary: Iomega eGo portable hard drive is a pride to possess. The ruby red color of the portable hard drive is eye-catching. And not just the looks even the functions are worth a mention.
Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive w/Protection Suite (500GB, ruby red) is a new entry in the eGo generation and is very impressive when compared to its older versions. Firstly it comes with a 500 GB capacity and lot more slim and light making it the most comfortable portable hard drive in the market. The power for the drive is drawn from the USB port. For computers that do not have USB port a supplementary power port is offered. -
"Pretty red" on by PeterSnipes

Cons: None till I stumble upon any such
Summary: I have a vaio red laptop and this is a perfect accessory-***-hd for it. It is the stylish accessory which also works as it is supposed to and the bonus is that it wil continue to be okay even after a drop from a 5 ft height.
