Why must GB Iomega eGo 250
This unit – with protection package – failed after 6 months of use. Called and spoke with iomega’s support, and was told I would only receive a refurbished unit as a replacement. Totally unacceptable for something with less than one year of use. One of the support specialist even said, “all hard drives fail sometimes.” Really! Do not buy this unit unless you want pain and hardship…and if it fails, be prepared to receive a used and refurbished unit as a replacement!

320 USB GB Toshiba and me
After a month or so of using this it makes a clicking noise and disconnects itself. Don’t bother with this one, cough up a bit more money for a better one, this one is absolute trash.

Happy on 160 GB Seagate 3
We were lucky to find another of this model through Amazon (last years model), we own 2 others as well, this one is for my son’s dorm room. My son has a laptop and the smaller drives use 1 or 2 USB ports (1 for info, 1 for power) to run them correctly, and most Manufacturers suggest using the computer’s ports versus a ‘powered hub’ ports. There are other external hard drives out there that have more capacity for the dollar, but this one is built like a brick house, runs flawlessly, and doesn’t have all the annoying built-in software packages now included on the newer versions. Seagate is the best, PERIOD! They have the best hub design there is out there which is the cause of most hard drives failures….no other brand can run as long without error codes or complete failure causing the loss of delicate information. We use it for music, photos, and back-up. Simple drag & drop operation….no formatting issues at all. If you can find one of these…BUY IT!
