Verbatim Americas is now offering the world's first half-Terabyte 2.5" portable HDD featuring an industry standard 9.5mm Z-height drive. The PDA-sized drive joins Verbatim's highly rated SmartDisk line of portable HDDs, which currently offer capacities ranging from 120GB to 320GB.
Scheduled to begin shipping in Q2 2008, the sleek new HDD will enable Windows and Mac users to add up to 500GB of removable capacity to their laptop or desktop systems for less than $300.
"Being able to add half a Terabyte of storage to a PC or Mac with such a small, easy to carry device is a new milestone in the portable storage industry," says Charles Klinker, Verbatim Director of Marketing for SmartDisk products. "Imagine the convenience of being able to store, transport and backup all of your digital content without having to span disks or carry multiple storage solutions."
Like Verbatim's complete family of 2.5" SmartDisk HDDs, the 500GB drive will be available with a choice of a USB interface or a Combo FireWire(R)/USB interface. The bus-powered drives deliver transfer speeds of up to 480MB per second (MB/sec.) when connected with USB 2.0 and up to 400MB/sec. for FireWire connections without requiring an AC power adapter.
