Iomega eGo Ruby Red PS
I've had the drive for a few months now because it was recommended by PC Pro. I got the blue version which is very tasty. I like the drive at it is light and has a good capacity for its size.
I use the drive on the move with my netbook and with my main computer for moving large files to my server, quicker than waiting for network transfers.
The supplied software would be handy if you haven't already got backup facilities etc. The online backup package is a bit naughty as it makes it difficult not to exceed the threshold where you would have to pay a subscription.
My only criticism is the lack of an ESata interface which would make large file transfers quicker. However, for everyday use, it is convenient, portable, and won't disappoint those who find style important.
I like it enough to be buying my son one for Christmas.
