Iomega Corporation Announces 30-Day Free Trial of Internet Storage with IomegaŽ iStorage Online

SAN DIEGO, May 29, 2003 - Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM), a global leader in data storage, is giving Internet users a free taste of online data security with a new 30-day free trial of Iomega® iStorage Online.

Iomega® iStorage Online is the fast, flexible new online storage system for Internet users, providing secure file access from any Internet connection. Internet users in the U.S. can now receive a free 30-day trial usage of 50MB of online storage from Iomega iStorage Online. Regular Iomega iStorage Online accounts start as low as $2.49 a month for 50MB of online storage, with two months free for purchasers of a 12-month annual subscription.

Iomega iStorage Online makes Web-based storage affordable, scalable and easy to use. Data stored online in client accounts is completely safe from the data disasters that can plague a typical workplace—problems like a computer breakdown, theft, virus attack or accidental erasure. User data is encrypted for security and stored in a redundant storage infrastructure with dedicated security processes and software, telco-grade disk drives, multiple tape backups, and offsite tape storage. iStorage Online also includes Whalemail™, which gives users the freedom to share large email attachments by sending a link to an iStorage Online file, rather than the file itself.

“Iomega iStorage Online has made Internet storage easy to use, easy to access and now easy to try with this new free trial offering,” said Susan Huberman, vice president, corporate marketing, Iomega Corporation. “With an Iomega iStorage Online account, your data can be backed up automatically and accessed from any Internet connection—great for when you’re on the road. Iomega iStorage Online is designed to provide anytime, anywhere access and offsite protection for your key files, making it an excellent complement to Iomega’s suite of storage solutions.”

Price and Availability
The Iomega iStorage Online trial offer is available to anyone in the U.S. with access to the Internet. Regular iStorage accounts range from $2.49 per month (50MB) to $17.95 per month (1GB), with 100MB, 250MB and 500MB capacities also available. Purchasers of 12-month annual subscriptions get two free months and a 30-day money back guarantee.
