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.
