Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - LAST LESS THAN A YEAR
i bought this on January and i dont even use it that much, just to move files from office to home..like twice a month? anyways, to transfer data is very slow (and gets slower every time!) and now that i just did a back up to restore my PC, after ive done the restore and want it to copy back the back up i did to my Iomega 250GB, i couldnt!! all my files are gone!!!!
in few words..my back up tool didnt back up!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Died from a 3 foot drop
I had it for 3 months and it is dead. The light comes on and I hear the disk, but computers can no longer see the drive.

I dropped it from 3 feet on my wood floor. It was idle when it dropped, but apparently that does not matter.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good experience soured by poor longevity

The eGo performed flawlessly for more than a year. Effortless plug and play, really no installation required under Windows, small and tidy with solid feel. I guess it lived up to its warranty rating but I expect more considering ours was not used heavily. Our particular ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great design, good performance
I buy a multitude of these at my workplace and give them out almost like flash drives or floppy drives back in the day. This one is well built, is well received, has a decent price point and performs acceptably.
