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