The latest pro A/V hard drive offering from Avastor hit the street this week. Their new HDX-1500 series offers up to 1TB storage with 4 port options: 1 eSATA, 2 FireWire 800 and 1 USB 2.0. FireWire 400 users don't despair...the drive comes with the Avastor lockbox, inserts and cables which include a FireWire 400 to FireWire 800 cable. 1000GB of storage is often needed these days for many pro audio, video and film projects so Avastor is meeting that demand.
