Iomega introduces mini hard drive

Iomega has announced the general availability of its external hard drive in a

40GB model. The drive, which weighs 99 grams, is the first Iomega hard drive to

receive 100% of its power from a standard USB data port, allowing mobile

professionals to travel lighter and still have plenty of storage capacity for

all their important files.

Because the hard drive is based on 1.8" hard disk technology, it is

smaller and more energy-efficient than most other portable drives. The 4200-rpm

drive has a rugged aluminum enclosure and features a USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed USB)

interface for plug-and-play simplicity with any compatible Windows or Macintosh

computer. A blue drive light signals disk activity and an on/off switch allows

laptop users to power down the device without disconnecting it.

Each drive comes with a leather travel case, USB cable and software CD,

including MusicMatch Jukebox music management software (PC and Mac) and Adobe

Photoshop Album SE (PC) for digital photos.

The

hard drive requires a Pentium processor or higher with Microsoft Windows

Me/2000/2000 Pro/ XP Home or Professional; MAC G4 or G3 (blue and white G3 only)

or iMac computer with built-in USB connection and Mac OS 9.0 or above. The Mini

40GB hard drive is available with Iomega's authorized distributors at SRP

(suggested retail price) of Rs 11,250.
