An excellent USB Jump Drive; Compatibility and Speed.
2 of 2 found this helpful When looking for an external Hard Drive (or any kind of drive), people only compare price to disk size. Well Iomega is sure not the cheapest per disk capacity. But that is because they are not "Cheap".
First of all; compatibility...
This is USB 2.0 and Firewire interface; unlike the name above (says Firewire only). With USB 2.0, USB 1.1, or Firewire (1394a) this 1/2 Terabyte Hard drive will work with MS Windows Vista, Win 2000 (or 2000Pro), Win XP (Home or Pro), Win XP Pro x64, or Mac OS X, version 10.1.5 or above. It can also be configured for PC Linux.
Second, Speed
I've done a speed test on this and a dozen other external USB Hard Drive and USB Flash Drives. This drive was the second fastest, beaten only by a USB to SATA hard drive; and by only 0.6 megabytes (600Kb) per second. And that SATA hard drive had Far Less compatibility; Win XP and Mac OS only.
Mentioning the recorded speed is irrelevant; because the "bottleneck" is the Laptop internal hard drive I was copying from/to. However; this Iomega eGo HDD was 25.91 Mb/Sec, That Sata HDD was 26.50 Mb/Sec, and the slowest was a USB floppy drive at 0.028 Mb/Sec (29 Kb/Sec).
So I highly recommend this Iomega eGo Series; unless you want something cheap and soon to fail. General specifications at:
