Apricorn has announced the 160GB version of the Aegis Mini, a pocket sized, 1.8-inch external drive with USB 2.0 or FireWire connection. It costs US$259 for the USB version and $259 for the FireWire model.
It’s now available in 80GB, 120GB and 160GB capacities. Smaller than a deck of cards and weighing 3.7 ounces, the pocket-sized Aegis Mini’s design centers around a 16-point omni-directional shock-mounted 1.8-inch hard drive and comes with a padded neoprene travel pouch. It’s bus powered certified.
The Aegis Mini is compatible with both Mac and Windows systems, and comes bundled with Apricorn’s Data Protection Suite, a software package offering backup and synchronization. The suite includes the Mac compatible SuperDuper!, Synchroize! X and Apricorn Encrypter products.
