(cnet) The drive is available in three glossy colors in three capacities up to 500GB ($150), but remains a low-cost solution for storage expansion. Although there isn't much going on in terms of cutting edge design, the Iomega eGo Portable Mac Edition deserves our Editors' Choice recognition for its quick throughput speeds, a rugged design that can stand four-foot drops, and a worry-free three-year warranty.
Product summary
The good: Triple interface connection; drop protection durability; fast transfer speeds (especially with FireWire 800), three-year warranty.
The bad: Power cord not included; exposed ports susceptible to dirt.
The bottom line: Mac and PC users alike will appreciate the Iomega eGo Portable's triple interface connectivity that lets you choose from USB 2.0, FireWire 400, and FireWire 800. Combined with a rugged enclosure, free data protection software, and a robust three-year warranty, this drive is a great example of well-rounded hardware. We thoroughly recommend it both for average consumer as well as data-hounds on a budget.
Specifications: Hard drive size: 250 GB ; Interface type: IEEE 1394b (FireWire 800) / IEEE1394 (FireWire) / Hi-Speed USB See full specs
