Portable 100GB drive
Other World Computing (OWC) has begun shipping its first . Featuring a 5400RPM mechanism and 8MB of cache, it is available with either a FireWire-only interface ($320) or with both FireWire and USB 2.0 interfaces ($330). The IEEE1394/iLink-compliant FireWire interface supports both bus-power, allowing the drive to be powered without any external power adapters. Weighing 11 ounces and measuring only 3.5-inches x 5.5-inches x 1.0-inches, the new Mercury On-The-Go drives provide a convenient and portable solution. The drives feature a shock-protective design, a cool blue activity LED, and near-silent operation and are bundled with Dantz Retrospect backup and restore software and Intech HD Speedtools.
