SAN DIEGO, May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Iomega Corporation (NYSE:
IOM), a global leader in data storage and protection, today announced the
worldwide introduction of the new Iomega(R) eGo(TM) USB 2.0 Camo Portable
Hard Drive, a camouflaged patterned addition to Iomega’s award-winning line
of stylish and sturdy portable hard drives.
Iomega’s Latest eGo Portable Hard Drive
Whether you’re someone with an adventuresome style and spirit, an avid
participant in tough travel environments, or just want to be different from
the crowd, the new Iomega eGo Camo Portable Hard Drive is a fast and fun
notebook hard drive that delivers on form and function. Iomega’s new eGo
Camo Drive has a curved chassis covered by a woodland camouflage pattern
that also comes with a black Iomega Power Grip band that not only looks
cool but also provides extra durability.
The new eGo Camo Portable Hard Drive also packs a lot of storage
capability — the 250GB* 2.5-inch drive is USB-powered for simple operation
(no power supply required), and it comes with EMC(R) Retrospect(R) HD
software for automatic backups, scheduled backups, or on-demand backups.

1,000,000 photos, over 4,625 hours of music or 375 hours of video** with
confidence and a look that no other portable hard drive offers today.
Iomega’s patented DropGuard(TM) technology protects the eGo drive from
accidental damage caused by drops of up to 51 inches (129 cms), compared to
portable hard drives from other manufacturers that claim drops of less than
40 inches. With the new Power Grip band on the eGo Camo Drive, this eGo
portable hard drive can handle drops of up to 60 inches (152 cms), a real
benefit and advantage for adventurous users.

that knocks the socks off anything else in the market,” said Ralf San Jose,
global product manager for HDD products, Iomega Corporation. “With the new
eGo Camo Portable Hard Drive, Iomega adds a style of adventure and intrigue
to the eGo color kaleidoscope. No self-respecting ‘camo’ lover will be
without it. Expect to see more exciting additions like the new Camo to the
Iomega eGo drive line in the future.”
