Avastor just announced their latest PDX pocket drives are shipping.  These professional A/V drives are available in a USB 2.0 format (PDX-200) and a triple interface PDX-800.

The Avastor PDX “Pocket” Hard Drive is the perfect ultra-portable data management system for media-rich digital content such as video, music, and photos. Designed for the professional, the PDX comes equipped with the capability to enable users to take their data wherever they go. The PDX is travel-ready and offers the world’s highest capacity 2.5” external hard disk solution, featuring a rugged, durable aluminum case that houses a SATA II hard drive and up to 500GB of storage space. The heavy duty, compact design, is built using the latest mobile hard disk technology providing a professional solution for users looking for a portable hard drive with industry-leading capacity.

Two Models
Available in two models, PDX 200 and PDX 800, the 200 sports a high speed USB 2.0 port to allow for quick and easy connectivity, and the 800 is equipped with dual FireWire 800 ports, a FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 port for maximum compatibility and fastest transfer rates.

Bus Powered
The PDX is bus-powered. No external power supply is required, allowing a computer to power it without an external power source - just plug the drive into any available USB, FireWire 400/800 port and it's ready for use. Most FireWire and USB ports provide enough power to the PDX. If the port you are connecting to does not power, such as the Sony iLink (4pin FireWire), the PDX 800 includes a unique “Power Saver” USB power cable which allows 5VDC to be tapped from the USB port while maintaining the use of the USB port for other USB devices.

TEAC recently launched their T-1000 expandable USB Flash duplicator system.

A question that came up this week about this unit was

"why should I spend a little extra for the TEAC unit?"

I spoke with TEAC directly and asked the same question; here is what I was told:

The TEAC system offers a "smart copy" function which allows you to copy only the data on your source drive; this saves you time, especially when you only have a little data on a large key.

The T-1000 is built with individual slot modules instead of hubs.  By doing this the TEAC unit offers much faster data verification once your job is completed since each key is running through its own slot.

The user can use the machine as a stand-alone system OR connect it to a PC.  The optional WIN PC software allows you to create master files and store them on your computer.

Fast, sturdy and reliable!  Industrial grade will hold up over time.

To view a PDF brochure on the TEAC USB duplicators please visit this link.

Encore Data Products offers free shipping on TEAC and everything else we sell.

Hearing is a lot easier to lose than to get back.  Classrooms today all have some sort of setup for  students to listen to programming.  Music is often the format that will always end up a little too loud. 

Hamilton Electronics, a leader in A/V products for education, has an excellent headphone that allows the teacher and/or parent to monitor the sound level visually.  The HA-31 Guardian Headset has lights built in the the earpieces which light up as the sound level increases.  When the level is higher than the recommended levels a red light turns on, telling the supervisor it is time to have the listener turn down.

This headphone is popular with schools in the labs and also for home use;  the two indicator lights can easily be seen across the room.

Another manufacturer, ECHO Tape, offers 100% certified tape media.  

Certified Tape Media
Certified tape media is simply magnetic tape media that is being reused.  Currently, there are many definitions of what constitutes certified tape media.  Different levels of testing exist to verify the condition of used tape media, and there is no one universal standard to which tape media is held to be considered certified.

The ECHO Difference
Media can only be considered ECHO 100% Certified after having endured rigorous testing and having met ECHO’s strict standards of zero hard errors, zero fatal errors, and zero server track errors on each tape carrying the ECHO name.  ECHO guarantees that every single track of data on every ECHO tape has been overwritten, read, and guaranteed free of such errors; setting an unmatched precedence for reliability.

Compatible Laser Toner is another way you can save on more than pricing. 

Encore Data Products is very pleased to announce our latest product line addition:  SoyPrint Toner Cartridges.

What is it?

Toner powder that is derived from Soybeans instead of oil

From the manufacturer:

 Industry leaders report it takes about 2 liters of oil to make the one pound of toner powder required for each oil-based cartridge. Currently, U.S. businesses, institutions and governmental bodies consume more than 100 million cartridges per year. That equates to 100 million pounds or 50,000 tons of material we currently use petroleum to produce. Now every office has a choice – they can print black or they can print “green”.

As SoyPrint adds more products so will we.  Encore Data Products offers free shipping on all SoyPrint toner cartridges.

What better way to launch a new brand at Encore Data Products than to run a special?

Now until the end of May you can get an Extra 10% off all SoyPrint Toner cartridges!

Eco-friendly soy based laser toner for HP printers.

Will economic stimulus funds for schools actually help schools?  Google "stimulus funds for schools" and you will find a huge array of articles and opinions on the subject.  I believe as long as the funds end up actually going to the schools it has to be a huge bonus.  Educators have a huge responsibility when it comes to educating our children; the absolute least we can do is provide them with the needed tools to do their jobs successfully.  I have yet to meet a teacher who is doing their job strictly for the paycheck. 

Encore Data Products is a small company in the world of corporate players.  That has some drawbacks for us in that we don't have the budget to fly sales reps around the U.S. for all the trade shows and sponsored events.  BUT a huge benefit for our customers is we pick up the phone and work personally with each and every client who needs assistance.  Customer service is important and we make that a top priority.  Also since our overhead is much lower than many companies out there our pricing is very competitive.

Our online store is easy to navigate and many schools find and order exactly what they need.  We field many calls to confirm headphone cord type, AV cart sizes, etc.  We love working with schools across the U.S. and beyond; it is important to us you receive the service and product you expect.

One of our biggest selling points is our FREE SHIPPING policy for orders shipped in the lower 48 states.   When you order from Encore Data Products you know exactly what you are paying...no surprises.  

Schools often have credit cards but just as often require ordering by purchase orders.  With Encore Data Products all we require is a faxed, mailed or emailed copy of your PO; there is no delay in setting up your school for open terms.

Our education lines include Hamilton Electronics, Buhl Industries, Califone, Telex, Luxor Furniture and more.
