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.

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. That way they can watch every game from the first round of the NCAA Championship - online, on demand and for FREE! We say let them do it. It'll give your people something to cheer (or weep about) together.
