Reviews of the Iomega eGo Portable Mac Edition (250GB, USB 2.0, FireWire, white)

    CNET Review

    June 22, 2009

    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.

Equip your conference room with the biggest TV that's practical for your space and make sure your users can stream March Madness on Demand from CBS Sports.com.
