Irvine, CA – January 3, 2005 – IOGEAR has combined computer storage and backup equipment in one device with the launch of its new 3.5” Combo Tri-Select ION Drive with Tri-Select technology, which enables automatic backup based on users’ settings. The external device allows consumers to store and protect important documents, as well as audio, video and other media files in one compact enclosure.
