    iomega eGo External drive and Windows Seven compatibility


    Hi,

    I am thinking about getting an 'iomega (#34836) 1TB eGo USB 2.0 External Hard Drive to replace a much smaller one from a different manufacturer.

    However, I have read a few reviews where some folks running Windows 7 had some problems getting it to recognize the iomega eGo External Drive.

    Can anyone tell me of any of their experiences with this External Drive while using Windows 7 ... either 'pro or con'?

    Thanks and regards,

    No personal experience, but until someone else replies. It is at least listed as compatible:

    A Guy,

    Thanks for your response. I had seen that link too. :)

    I went ahead and ordered it after seeing it supposedly was compatible with Windows Seven. If I find it isn't ... I will be sure to post back...lol

    Thanks and regards,
