Reviews of the Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive w/ Protection Suite (500GB, ruby red)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Inexpensive; faster throughput than the competition; rugged enclosure protects drops up to 51 inches; lightweight; three-year warranty.
The Bad: Power cord not included.
The Bottom Line: The eGo Portable continues Iomega's tradition of slim, feature-rich external hard drives, this time sporting a sleek new design and an extended warranty. The bundle also includes a suite of three different software solutions that back up your data and protects your computer, and at an affordable 30 cents per gigabyte, we're happy to endorse the Iomega eGo Portable once again.
