Seagate has unveiled the BlackArmor PS110 USB 3.0 portable external hard drive performance kit for notebook computers, which packages a 500GB 7200RPM 2.5-inch portable hard drive, power cable and PC express card.
The company said that the new BlackArmor PS110 USB 3.0 portable drive comes in a 12.5mm form factor and each drive ships with the Acronis business-grade backup suite, automated full-system backup and SafetyDrill+ software and a bare metal recovery feature. These are compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
The company claims that the new BlackArmor PS110 USB 3.0 toolkit allows users to store and share large amounts of rich digital content in less time. It also provides for easy transfer of large files to and from the external drive at sustained transfer rates of 100MB/s, which is three times faster than current USB 2.0 devices.
Dave Mosley, executive vice president of sales, marketing and product line management at Seagate, said: “The growing presence of large multimedia files in the home means that connectivity and speed is a top concern for a satisfactory experience. The delivery of USB 3.0 further underscores our commitment to giving people an efficient way to store, access and share their digital creations.”
