(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.
