Fujitsu Computer Products of America has launched its new travel-ready high-capacity 2.5-inch external hard disk drive (HDD) for the US market. Featuring up to 300GB of storage space in a sleek, compact design, the new external HDDs are built on Fujitsu mobile hard disk technology.
Designed for the busy mobile professional, the Fujitsu external HDD comes equipped with all of the necessary components to enable users to take their data wherever they go. The slim device includes an integrated USB 2.0 cable to allow for quick and easy connectivity.
Additionally, because the product is USB bus-powered, a notebook can lend the device the necessary power without external resources required. Users can also be assured that their data will be protected with the distinctive 16-point omnidirectional shock mounting design, which helps to reduce the effect of impact, said Fujitsu.
For extra security and backup convenience, Fujitsu external HDDs are also bundled with a data protection suite for PCs. Apricorn's EZ Gig II for Windows enables a system to be backed up as an image or an exact clone, while at the same time permitting backups to be compressed into a single file, allowing individual files to be restored, and providing security with password protection. There is also the Cryptainer encryption program that helps privacy, with AES 256 or Blowfish 448-bit encryption. Finally, to ensure data integrity, Second Copy 2000 synchronizing software coordinates file sharing and backup between multiple computers.
"We are proud to launch the world's highest capacity 2.5-inch external HDD product into the marketplace at a time when consumers are demanding more storage, compact designs, and features that advance the level of data security," said Lorne Wilson, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Fujitsu Computer Products of America.
The Fujitsu external HDD 300GB/4200RPM will be available for US$229 (MSRP) and also in a 120GB/5400RPM version for US$129 (MSRP) in the third quarter of 2007 in the US market.
