Iomega and IOGEAR mess with us, release mini portable hard drives at the same time
Probably just to mess with us, Iomega and IOGEAR both decided to announce tiny portable 20GB and 40GB hard drives at the same time (and it actually took us a little while to notice there were two different announcements). The big deal about Iomega's USB 2.0 Mini Hard Drive (pictured at right) is that you can power it over USB rather than have to carry around a power cord with it while you travel; the 20GB version retails for $180 and the 40GB version retails for $280. IOGEAR's new Combo External ION drives are compatible with both USB 2.0 and FireWire, come with back up software, and'll set you back $250 for the 20GB model and $350 for the 40GB model.
