Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drives include 256-bit hardware encryption (PC only), riggedized exterior, and the Iomega Protection software suite (includes v.Clone imaging software, 12-month Trend Micro Internet Security subscription, Iomega QuikProtect backup software, Roxio Retrospect backup software, and MozyHome 2GB online backup service).

All Iomega portable hard drives have a three-year limited warranty (with registration).
