Works fine on a Mac for me? October 18, 2008

I think this hard drive is great; It's lightweight but rugged, and very very attractive! The "Ruby Red" is more of a "Magenta Pink"...and yes, it DOES look like a whiskey flask, as a previous commentor said!

So, I'm a Mac fan, and I haven't had any problems with it. I haven't needed to plug both ends of the USB in order to get enough power; just the main one. I also have one of the newer MacBook Pros (less than 3 years old), so that may be the fix right there.

It reads and writes EXTREMELY FAST. I was really impressed. It works great with Time Machine, too... It's a great deal for this price: it works! (and looks like you spent a whole lot more on $$$ it!)

Just what I needed November 19, 2008

I was filling up my iBook hard drive with iTunes. I shifted the library off to an external drive.

I had some problems with USB drives on my iBook thinking they had been improperly ejected because they weren't geting enough power from the USB. The WD I was using had no external power supply capability and I couldn't use the "double-USB" cord because my iPod was plugged in as well. I order this Iomega eGo FireWire.

When it arrived, I read it was already formatted for Mac (the others I had to reformat). I plugged it into the fire wire port and within 10 seconds, the iBook recognised it. I pointed my iTunes library to it, plugged the old external into the "double USB" cord to prevent problems and hit "consolitate library". The iBook and eGo did the rest. Since then (about 4 months so far) not a single problem. FINALLY!!!

I highly recommend the FireWire if you have a Mac. I also have eGo USB only versions for my PC (cheaper, but I recommend reformatting to NTFS from the Fat-32 so you can deal with files over 4GB).

Perfect solution November 2, 2008

I've lately been having problems with portable USB drives mounting properly, so I finally gave up and went back to Firewire. This little drive works flawlessly (albeit a little hot). It's small, it's fast, it has huge storage for its size, and it's pretty (!). How can you resist a disk drive that looks like a flask?

AWESOME Little Drive October 4, 2008

This is an awesome little drive!

I purchased it to create full backups of my iMac (OS X 10.5.5) that I can store in my safe deposit box, and I haven't been disappointed. It comes pre-formatted for OS X, so you can just plug it in and go (OS X recognizes it immediately after plugging it in via USB). I chose to reformat with Leopard just to ensure that any file system changes under Leopard were taken into account, and the reformatting process took all of 30 seconds, no problems. It provided great performance with about 260GB being backed up over USB in about 4 hours and, in the event of an emergency, allows you to boot your iMac directly off the drive (using Firewire).

It is physically small (about the size of a small pocket hooch flask), is well constructed and feels very solid and durable in your hand, and is dead quiet when operating.

I am thrilled with this purchase and with Iomega's excellent support for Macs and I'll be back for more!

Excellent high capacity portable hard drive December 12, 2008

This drive has worked perfectly for me. To be able to put 320GB in my pocket and use it on an airplane without having to plug it in is so useful to me in my photography and video work. It has been absolutely no problem of any kind and has worked perfectly since the day I plugged it into my MacBook Pro. Highly recommended.
