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).

Superb value – iomega eGo 320 GB drive
Works a treat. I use it to back up my Macbook and it works as advertised. No problem – plug it in and away you go.

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!)

Great!!
It is backing up my files with no problems and has plenty of space. It is great for my mac with the firewire and usually gets finished with a backup within a reasonable time.

This seems to be a good product. Interfaces well since it has both USB 2 and Firewire 400 inputs. You may want to get a power source to plug it into if you want to use this for more than just periodic backups or “mobile-only” use.
The only issue I have with this hard drive (and it’s a big one IMHO) is that it generates more heat than any laptop I’ve ever used, and I’ve worked on the worst “heaters” of all time! I was very surprised to find this out after only having it plugged into my MacBook for 5 minutes. It makes the exterior VERY warm, almost “hot,” so when you go to pick it up after using it to backup your computer’s hard drive or after a session of mobile recording, don’t be so shocked that you drop it. It won’t burn you, but it will surprise you if you’re not thinking about it.

Iomega Firewire – worth the money @ great price!
After purchasing a few mybooks, I bought the Iomega Firewire for my mac and it worked like a charm! Would highly recommend using Amazon to get the best price possible and I did…

Great for Time Machine
I purchased this for two reasons: The first, to carry back large video files from a trip to Central America. Knowing I would be working with MS-DOS, I reformatted the drive.

Overheats, doesn’t work well
Purchased this last week and was disappointed. My Macbook recognized the drive, I went to consolidate my iTunes Library and it won’t save the entire Library so my iTunes is now…

Don’t bother wasting your money.
The drive worked for the first three weeks and then decided not to work at all. It has totally crapped out and I lost everything.

Small package, small price, big performance,
This is a great little drive. Bought it to back up my new MacBook. Can’t believe the very reasonable price for a 320 gig drive. Superfast FireWire. Very reliable.

WARNING MAC OWNERS!
This drive comes with a Quick Start Guide, nothing detailed, which is a problem. And I’ll tell you why.

excellent storage device
After having browsed several hard disk external storage devices, I choose Iomega. Durable, elegant and it really is very light too. Once I found my Iomega in a pool of water.

would not recognize or allow format
what a pain this was. Hours of trying to get this thing to be acknowledge by PC. Got hot -showed light-and no icon to even begin format.
