Compact and housed in a sturdy, stylish brushed-metal construction, the 2TB Prestige Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 is an affordable, secure, high-capacity storage solution from Iomega. Outfitted with an extremely fast USB 3.0 interface, the drive features data transfer speeds at up to 5 Gbps; however, if you don't have a USB 3.0 port, the drive is backwards compatible with a USB 2.0 port, using the included cable. You can also utilize one of Iomega's separately-sold USB 3.0 adapters. The drive is formatted in NTFS. As such, the drive is plug-and-play ready for your Windows desktop or laptop but it can be easily reformatted to work with your Mac computer.
To ensure that your data, photos, music, videos, or files are secure, the drive features Iomega's built-in Drop Shock technology, their built-in AES 256 bit encryption, and their downloadable protection software suite. With the encryption, you can be confident that your data will remain safe at home, in the office, or at school. In addition, the software suite allows you to easily back up your data online or on the drive. It also ensures that your online experience is safe and free from spyware or viruses. The built-in Drop Shock technology protects your drive if it's dropped from a height of up to three feet. All told, Iomega's put together a secure, affordable external hard drive for all your desktop storage needs.
