Dell Canada: Iomega 1tb SuperSpeed Portable Hard Drive $97.99 (Save $52)

I have been wanting to get this hard drive for a long time: an Iomega eGo 1 TB SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive in Red. Regularly priced at $149.99 you will save $52 if you buy it for $97.99. It is backwards compatible to USB 2.0 and fast: up to 5 Gbits/s. It is part of the Dell Canada 48 hour first round of deals.

• Check out the Iomega Portable Hard Drive

I have an Iomega hard drive, and it is great. But it is hardly transportable: being bigger and bulkier than this one. It also can take quite a while to back up my laptop if I haven't done it for a bit: so the super speed of this one really appeals to me.

Further specs:

• Fast - Up to 10 times the speed of USB 2.0; transfer speeds up to 5 Gbits/s: Backward compatible to USB 2.0
• Mobile - Compact, portable storage so small you can take it everywhere you go; Fast USB 3.0 interface available with no external power supply required
• Rugged - Perfect for travel environments, the Iomega Drop Guard Xtreme feature helps protect the drive from drops up to 7 feet
• Secure - 256-bit hardware encryption; Iomega Protection Suite included (via download) including anti-virus and backup software
