eGo Goes Where You Go

Meet Iomega’s sexy and portable eGo hard drive. The 2.5-inch drive comes in 2 sizes, 160GB and 250GB, priced $140 and $210 in the USB 2.0 version. The Dual Interface editions (USB and FireWire 400) will cost just $20 more at $160 and $230, respectively. They also come in yummy colors: Cherry Red, Jet Black, Midnight Blue and Alpine White.
Iomega Sets New Low in Home Network NAS

And I mean that in a good way. Their new units provide Ethernet connections and 7200RPM SATA-II drives in 320GB, 360GB, and 500GB sizes. And it’s not the features that make these attractive, but the pricing: the 320GB version, available now, is $149, a very attractive price even if all the thing does is show up as a simple share on the network. I imagine the 320GB version will go away once the 360Gb and 500GB models appear next month, since pricing will be $149 and $199 (you’ll notice the the entry-level price is the same as for the 320GB version).
