As computers continue to become ever more portable, it stands to reason that external hard drives will follow suit. Reliability, versatility and durability are all important in a portable hard drive, and Iomegais eGo offers all three along with good looks, too.
The eGo sports a flask-shaped metal shell thatis available in several colors, 160GB or 250GB capacities, and with either a USB 2.0 or USB 2.0/FireWire 400 combo interface. It includes Iomegais DropGuard technology to help protect the drive if it gets dropped or bumped, and weighs just under a half pound. I tested the combo interface model (product number 34155).
