Latest eGo Portable Hard Drive Whether you're someone with an
adventuresome style and spirit, an avid participant in tough travel
environments, or just want to be different from the crowd, the new
Iomega eGo Camo Portable Hard Drive is a fast and fun notebook hard
drive that delivers on form and function. Iomega's new eGo Camo
Drive has a curved chassis covered by a woodland camouflage pattern
that also comes with a black Iomega Power Grip band that not only
looks cool but also provides extra durability. The new eGo Camo
Portable Hard Drive also packs a lot of storage capability -- the
250GB* 2.5-inch drive is USB-powered for simple operation (no power
supply required), and it comes with EMC(R) Retrospect(R) HD
software for automatic backups, scheduled backups, or on-demand
backups. With Iomega's new 250GB eGo Camo Portable Hard Drive,
users can carry up to 1,000,000 photos, over 4,625 hours of music
or 375 hours of video** with confidence and a look that no other
portable hard drive offers today. Iomega's patented DropGuard(TM)
technology protects the eGo drive from accidental damage caused by
drops of up to 51 inches (129 cms), compared to portable hard
drives from other manufacturers that claim drops of less than 40
inches. With the new Power Grip band on the eGo Camo Drive, this
eGo portable hard drive can handle drops of up to 60 inches (152
cms), a real benefit and advantage for adventurous users. "Unlike
mundane, run-of-the-mill looking branded portable hard drives,
Iomega's eGo Portable Hard Drive line features a palette of bright
colors that knocks the socks off anything else in the market," said
Ralf San Jose, global product manager for HDD products, Iomega
Corporation. "With the new eGo Camo Portable Hard Drive, Iomega
adds a style of adventure and intrigue to the eGo color
kaleidoscope. No self-respecting 'camo' lover will be without it.
Expect to see more exciting additions like the new Camo to the
Iomega eGo drive line in the future." Compatibility Iomega's new
eGo Camo Portable Hard Drive is compatible with Windows Vista (all
