Iomega Ego USB 3.0: Improved Efficiency Coupled with Ruggedness, at a Low Price

By nice on Aug 26, 2010 No Comments

If you love the USB 2.0, then you will find the 3.0 even more lovable! Iomega is moving from its USB 2.0 generation toward the 3.0 with its Ego line-up of portable hard drives. And what do you get from this new hard drive generation? Check these features out:

Improved speed. The USB 3.0 is 10 times faster than the USB 2.0 – cool!
Improved security. That’s thanks to the AES 256 full-disk hardware encryption.
Improved durability. The device features the Drop Guard Xtreme that can protect it from fall of up to seven feet.
Low price. All of the mentioned additional features, and more, you can get at the price of the USB 2.0.

One of the coolest software included in the USB 3.0 is the v.Clone, a software that allows the device to save a â€œcloneâ€ of your PC – settings, applications, and all others – so that you can have all your settings intact even if you work on a different computer – kind of bringing your PC with you anywhere, without literally bringing it. The Ego 3.0 will be offered this coming October, in choices of 500 GB and 1 TB capacities. It is compatible with all USB 2.0 ports, so you won’t need whatever upgrade or modification. It’s also ideal to carry with you wherever you go with its compact 2.5-inch size. Plus, it won’t require additional power other than that provided by your PC or laptop. While you wait for the Ego USB 3.0 to be released, you might want to check out an Iomega Ego USB 2.0 at Amazon.
