The aesthetics alone were always going to spark interest for external hard drive devotees, so when we had the opportunity to see how the Iomega actually performed, we were keen. The eGo is certainly sleek. The size - 135 x 90 x 20mm at it’s widest -...
Aside from the ever-so-slightly less tasteful red and blue variations - lets face facts, almost all technology looks better wearing black or silver - this little drive cant be faulted. It did take a little while for the drive icon to appear on the M...

Way back in the early 90s I used an 88MB (5.25" cartridge) SyQuest for transferring large files to an editor I worked with. That was alright for a while but when I needed something larger I went for a one GB Jazz disk. What appealed to me was th...

Hard drive-based portable drives are in vogue. This is largely due to the fact that 2.5-inch HDD prices have come down quite a lot, while their capacities have only gone up. Also, one cant disregard the ease of use and the mobility factor of such port...
