Iomega Intros New Portable Drives

SAN DIEGO -- Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM - News), a global leader in data storage and protection, today introduced two exciting new choices in portable and desktop storage: the stylish Iomega eGo(TM) USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive and the speedy Iomega® eSATA/USB 2.0 Professional Hard Drive.

Iomega's Latest Portable Hard Drive

The Iomega® eGo(TM) Portable Hard Drive USB 2.0 is a fast and fun notebook hard drive that delivers on form and function. Iomega's new eGo Drive has an elegantly curved cherry-red chassis with chrome endcaps that sets it apart from other portable hard drives. With the new eGo Drive, Iomega introduces flair and panache to the HDD market, something rarely seen in any competitor's product. The eGo Drive also packs a lot of storage capability - the 160GB* 2.5-inch drive is USB-powered for simple operation (no power supply required), and it comes with EMC® Retrospect® HD software for automatic backups, scheduled backups, or on-demand backups. DropGuard(TM) technology protects the drive from accidental damage caused by drops of up to 51 inches so users can carry up to 640,000 photos, over 2,900 hours of music or 240 hours of video** with confidence.

"The Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive calls attention to itself with its beautiful red contoured case, while its automatic backup software works transparently to protect your digital life," said Ashley Ettwein, HDD Product Manager, Iomega Corporation. "The eGo Drive gives users a high capacity portable hard drive as well as a fashion statement that says they're different than all the rest."
