I tested the Iomega eGo using the following hardware: To download any of these programs, go to Iomega's download page and enter your email address with the serial number from your eGo. The suite includes a 12 month subscription to Trend Micro Internet Security for PC or Trend Micro Smart Surfing for Mac, Roxio Retrospect Express backup software, MozyHome Online Backup service (2GB for free), Iomega QuikProtect backup software and v.Clone, a system imaging program. Iomega also includes access to its Protection Suite software. Personally, this didn't bother me too much, but while checking out some user reviews around the net it appeared to be the most prominent complaint among owners of the drive. Sure, you can disable autorun in Windows, but that could be an inconvenience if you happen to rely on the feature often. But if you despise a company forcing software down your throat, it'll certainly become an issue. If you plan to use the software, this point is moot. The software works as advertised and is easy to use, although it appears that whoever wrote the copy for the software isn't a native English speaker.īesides that minor gripe, there is one issue with the bundled encryption software: it boots as a virtual optical drive when you plug the eGo into your computer and there is seemingly no way to remove it. Included on the drive is a copy of Iomega Encryption Utility that utilizes AES 256-bit hardware encryption, which lets you password protect the drive to keep snooping eyes off your data.
