Iomega moves from Gigabytes to Terabyte with Super eGo external hard drive

Johannesburg, 04 Jun 2008

Iomega Corporation, a global leader in data storage, protection and security, recently announced that stylish data security has reached the 1Terabyte (TB) plateau with the worldwide introduction of the Iomega eGo 1TB Desktop Hard Drive.

This new single-drive HDD - Super eGo - is now available worldwide in ruby red, midnight blue, and jet black. Its design is based on the popular Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive, one of Iomega's best-selling line of hard drives.

The eGo Portable is currently available in 160GB, 250GB and 320GB capacities, and in several different colours, including new camouflage and leather-wrapped models. The new eGo Desktop model houses a 1TB, 3.5-inch hard drive with USB 2.0 connectivity that holds up to 4 000 000 photos, over 18 500 hours of music or 1 500 hours of video.

"By applying the award-winning style of the eGo design to a desktop hard drive, Iomega is giving users a one-terabyte Super eGo that's all about form and function, a beautiful and pleasing design for even the most data-intensive applications," said Michelle Kasselman, key account manager for Iomega Corporation in South Africa. "Today's computer users want more style, capacity, and data security out of their computer hardware; the colourful, dependable and colossal one terabyte eGo Desktop Hard Drive delivers on all counts."

The new 1TB eGo Desktop Hard Drive is a complete storage solution out of the box, including a licence for EMC Retrospect HD software (PC-only download) for automatic backups, scheduled backups, or on-demand backups.

The Iomega eGo Desktop Hard Drive is compatible with Mac OS X 10.1 or higher and with Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. EMC Retrospect HD backup software is available for free download (PC only).
