Iomega 500GB Mini drive
Iomega has doubled the size of its MiniMax Desktop Hard Drive -- which was originally limited to 250GB -- to offer a 500GB version. The new model features with three FireWire and three USB 2.0 ports like its predecessor, and stacks with the Apple Mac mini system. A smart power switch turns the drive on at the same time as a mini -- notably, however, the MiniMax is also compatible with iMac and G-series computers, so long as they have built-in USB connections and Mac OS X 10.2 or later. Drive performance is rated at 7200rpm with an 8MB cache, and Iomega estimates that the product could hold as much as 2,000,000 photos, 9,250 hours of music, or 750 hours of video. Dantz/EMC's Retrospect backup software is also included. and the 500GB MiniMax is shipping for $280.
