The iStoragePro FireWire series is designed very compact in size, rugged, stylish finished and equipped with built-in heat-sink technology, multi-interface including FireWire 400, FireWire 800, USB 2.0 ports bus powered (2.5” models) and eSATA ports (except Pocket) making the series a perfect portable media storage solution for traveling business professionals to bring it along to anywhere, anytime to back up valuable data, high-resolution video and digital photos.
Stylish aluminum enclosure is designed with one piece of aluminum sheet metal and heat-sink integrated. The thermal conductive design is the best for heat dissipation to ensure data integrity and reliable operation. “A portable drive, requiring no external AC adapter, that has its own heat sink, with the ability hold 500 GB worth of media while easily fitting in a laptop case is a modern miracle. System has brought together the perfect combination of form and function without sacrificing stability,” said Scott Amendolare, the editor of Reelgrok, for iT1PKT54500.
The iStoragePro Firewire portable storage drives offer ultra fast transfer read/write rate. The editor of MacWorld, Chris Holt, commented iStoragePro Pocket “one of the fastest portable hard drives we’ve ever looked at.” They can easily handle advanced video formats, support multi-track audio with protocols and multi-stream video formats include DV, HDV, DVCPRO HD, ProRes 422 and compressed HD Capture and playback mode. Jerry Hofmann, the editor of Creative Cow commented, ”iStoragePro pocket drive performs admirably. Great unit, competitive pricing I can heartily recommend this drive to anybody looking for a top of the line portable solution.”
As heat can cause damage to hard drive, iStoragePro Dual Bay portable units are specially designed with a studio-style low noise fan module, an aluminum enclosure with heat sink integrated to keep the unit both cool and quiet. Dual Bay units support Raid 0, 1. Pocket View and Dock View are featured a light blue LCD display at the front to show drive and fan status for precision monitoring. The Raid 1 feature allows your data mirroring on both drives which provides the maximum protection for important data, and greatly increases the level of data storage reliability, making it an ideal storage solution to backup any file types including personal data, music MP3s, high-resolution video, digital photos and Apple Time Machine system backup application.
