Iomega Corporation has introduced its portable eGo USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive and eSATA/USB 2.0 Professional Hard Drive.
The eGo USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive is a 160GB 2.5-inch drive, which is USB-powered (no additional power supply required), and it comes with EMC Retrospect HD software for automatic backups, scheduled backups, or on-demand backups. DropGuard technology protects the drive from accidental damage caused by drops of up to 51-inches, according to Iomega.
Iomega's eSATA/USB 2.0 Professional Hard Drive, features a 3Gb/s eSATA interface for the fastest possible access to its 500GB storage capacity. The hard drive also comes with EMC Retrospect Express software. Iomega's eSATA drive requires a system with an eSATA interface for operation as an eSATA drive (PCI eSATA card not included). For computers that do not have an eSATA interface, the USB 2.0 interface offers a universally popular alternative, according to the company.
Both drives are compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, XP Home/Professional/Professional x64, and Vista. The eGo Portable Hard Drive is compatible with Mac OS X 10.1.5 or above; the Professional Hard Drive eSATA is compatible with Mac OS X 10.2 or above.
The Iomega 160GB eGo USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive is available now for US$159.95. The Iomega eSATA/USB 2.0 500GB Professional Hard Drive is also available now for US$209.95.
