New Iomega’s eGo Portable Hard Drives

Iomega Corporation introduced new higher capacity and dual interface
models for its hugely popular Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive, which
has changed the way computer users view design and function in portable
hard drives.

Iomega will be showing its new eGo Portable Hard
Drive models as well as the rest of its Apple-oriented products at this
week’s Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco.

The
newest additions to the Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive family include
160GB and 250GB models with dual USB 2.0 and FireWire 400 interfaces,
available in Cherry Red, Jet Black and Alpine White. Iomega also
announced today new 250GB USB 2.0-powered models in Cherry Red,
Midnight Blue and Jet Black.

A 160GB USB 2.0 Powered
portable hard drive was launched in June.

"With the eGo Portable Hard Drive, Iomega shook up
the industry by introducing fashion to a world previously known for
little gray and black boxes," said Tom Kampfer, President, Iomega
Corporation. "Now we’re raising the bar with exciting new models that
offer more capacity and connectivity with PCs and Macs. The new models
are available in several different stylish colors, making the Iomega
eGo Portable Hard Drive the ideal portable storage product for family,
friends, students, professionals and anyone who wants to add some
personality to their computer."

Iomega’s
eGo Drive is a stylish and sassy 2.5-inch drive that easily fits in a
briefcase or purse, giving users dependable portable storage and
allowing them to express their own personal palette, popular today with
colored laptop computers. The eGo Drive has an elegantly curved chassis
available in several different eye-catching colors, each with chrome
endcaps that sets the eGo Drive apart from other portable hard drives.

But the Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive is also
about function. No power supply is required when utilizing the USB port
on any of the eGo Drive models. The dual interface models are ideal for
seamless storage, backup and archive support on both PC and Mac
computing systems. All Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drives come with a
version of EMC Retrospect software for automatic backups, scheduled
backups, or on-demand backups. DropGuard technology, another data
safety advantage for eGo Drive users, protects the eGo drive from
accidental damage caused by drops of up to 51 inches – far superior to
the drop height specifications of other branded portable hard drives.

Talk about style and lots of storage space, too –
the 160GB eGo Portable Hard Drive can carry up to 640,000 photos, over
2,900 hours of music or 240 hours of video with confidence, while the
250GB eGo Portable Hard Drive can carry up to 1 million photos, over
4,600 hours of music or 375 hours of video.

Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drives are compatible with Microsoft Windows
2000 Professional, Windows XP Home/XP Professional/XP Professional x64,
and Windows Vista. The eGo Portable Hard Drive is also compatible with
Mac OS X 10.1.5 or above.
