The all-new USB 3.0 eGo Portable Hard Drives will feature hardware encryption and super toughness - all at USB 2.0 product prices.
Praveen Sahai, Director - Sales, India & SAARC, Iomega Corporation, said, "With a super fast USB 3.0 interface delivering speeds of up to ten times that of USB 2.0, super tough with a 7-foot drop spec that is twice the industry average and super secure with AES 256 hardware encryption, Iomega's eGo Portable Hard Drives will be the premium must-have portable storage product. Factor in our bundled software Protection Suite with popular titles such as Iomega's QuikProtect, v.Clone and Trend Micro's Internet Security, and that makes Iomega's USB 3.0 eGo Portable Hard Drives an exceptional premium solution at the same price as most entry-level basic USB 2.0 products."
Iomega plans to move all eGo Portable Hard Drives in 500GB and 1TB capacities to the new USB 3.0 interface. Totally compatible with all USB 2.0 computers, the new USB 3.0 eGo Portable Hard Drives will include Iomega's Drop Guard Xtreme, which provides added protection from drops of nearly seven feet or twice the industry average. Iomega will move the rest of its portable external hard drive models to the USB 3.0 interface.
