Imation has announced U.S. availability of its Pro WX Wireless USB hard drive. The company says it’s the world’s first Wireless USB external hard drive and has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of US$449.99.
The Imation Pro WX hard drive provides 1.5TB of storage capacity in a 3.5-inch form factor. With a wireless USB data transfer rate of up to 15MB/second, the product can back up a typical CD in under 50 seconds, and store up to 300,000 photos or 750 hours of video, according to the folks at Imation.
Inherent in its Wireless USB technology, Pro WX wireless hard drive offers an one-to-one connection that limits the possibility of signal interception and backs up data whenever it is in range up to 30 feet, similar to a direct attached storage device. It comes with: an integrated stand for vertical or horizontal orientation; low capacity/data activity indicator lights foridentification of data processes with built-in sleep mode for energy conservation; and one-touch, backup sync buttons for easy-to-use automatic backup of data, photos, music and videos. The product is compatible with both Mac and PC operating systems and doesn’t require batteries.
