AWESOME Little Drive5
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!

Perfectly Satisfied5
I'm very happy with the Iomega eGo. It works well (and looks good). Zero complaints.

Excellent, reliable, zippy drive :)5
This drive is solid. Performance is great, It is built well, although obviously all drives need to be handled with care. I've taken a liking to this drive, I've liked Iomega products since my 100MB parallel-port zip drive.. that thing was beyond indestructible!!
