Portable External Hard Drive
Iomega just announced a Mac-compatible external hard drive, the Iomega® eGo™ Portable Hard Drive. This portable hard drive, made of aluminum, has a stylish design. It is rugged and comes with software to increase its usability. It is backed with a three-year limited warranty.
This new portable drive has three connector ports. Firewire 800, Firewire 400 and USB 2.0 ports are all here (one of each). Drop Guard™ is included to protect from drops up to 51”.
In addition to Mac compatibility, this external hard drive is also Windows-compatible. In fact, just a couple weeks earlier, Iomega announced an external hard drive without the FireWire capability (at a lower price).
