Looking for an external storage solution for your MacBook Air? Well, the new eGo Helium is just the ticket: this aluminium-clad, 16mm thin hard drive could be the Air’s little brother!
Despite its ultra-streamlined form and low weight (200g), the Helium sports an impressive 320GB of storage space. According to Iomega, that’s enough for 1,280,000 photos, almost 6,000 hours of music or 480 hours of video.
It’s preformatted in the Mac-friendly HFS+ file system (Windows users can reformat it in NTFS or FAT32 if they wish), and gets all its power via USB – so no boxy adapter is required. Iomega’s Drop Guard also features, which keeps the drive protected for drops of up to 1.3 metres onto “industrial carpetting”. Nice to know.
