Iogear Releases 1.8" External hard Drives
Posted by Jason Dunn in "HARDWARE" @ 01:39 PM
"IOGEAR has slimmed down the equipment required to transfer files on an external hard drive with the launch of its 1.8” USB 2.0 and Combo External ION hard drives. The devices allow consumers to store documents, pictures, music and videos in one compact enclosure. Perfect for the mobile professional, the products are small enough to be clipped onto a belt, or on an airplane or car seat pocket. The external drives are compatible with both Mac and PC platforms and offer high data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps (USB 2.0) and 400 Mbps (FireWire). Both the USB 2.0 and Combo ION Drives are backward compatible with USB 1.1 specifications. The product also offers an exclusive version of Dantz® Retrospect® software for easy backup."
I don't think this photo does this product justice - if it's based on a 1.8" drive, it will be quite small. If you're in need of a small external storage drive, this looks like it might be a great solution. And hopefully they fixed the cable problems they had with the 2.5" drives.
