Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive (250GB)

The 250GB Iomega eGo portable hard drive may look like a military flask, but it stores data, not hooch. A lot of data - up to a million photos, 4600 hours of music, or 375 hours of video. Not bad for $130. It has a USB 2.0 interface, so you just plug it into your computer, using software you download (free for PCs). It's less than an inch thick, and measures slightly smaller than 4" x 6", so you can take it anywhere. Best of all it has a Drop Guard so it can withstand a drop of 60 inches without losing data. See all Iomega eGo portable hard drives.
