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 “clone” 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.
What’s fast, heat resistant and can survive underwater for 3 days? No, it’s not a nuclear submarine and it’s not even an amphibious assault vehicle. It’s the new ioSafe SoloPRO, the business-class edition and award-winning external hard drive made available in USB 3.0, eSATA and USB 2.0 formats, providing unparalleled support for Windows, Linux servers, and desktop operating platforms. The eSATA and USB 3.0 provides fast transfer speeds well over 100 MB/s. That’s 3 to 4 times faster than your usual USB 2.0 speeds. One Terabyte worth of data can be transferred to a SoloPRO in just a few short hours versus 10 hours or more with the USB 2.0.
Are you one of those who want the freedom from memorizing mandatory passwords? Besides, who would want the trouble it brings when you cannot input that required information? Aegis Bio heard your plea. This new biometrically secure encrypted portable hard drive provides the best reliable protection of data in the most uncomplicated way. The Aegis Bio is the proud output of combined cutting edge technology in biometric authentication and encryption. Compared to other hard drives that require extra care once removed from the enclosure, this 2.5-inch portable hard drive uses a real-time 128-bit AES hardware encryption that makes it tightly packed though without an enclosure.
