Avastor, a
leading manufacturer of ultimate storage solutions for audio/video
professionals, introduces its new line of SDX portable hard
disk drives.
Targeting the prosumer market –
as well as the pro market – the SDX line is more competitively
priced than the highly popular HDX drive which offers the ultimate
in external professional portable storage.
The SDX comes with a mandate for quality
features that will enhance performance. For example, each
SDX drive has an external 3 amp grounded DC power supply that
auto senses 90-240V that makes for worldwide compatibility
with an IEC power cord. Also every SDX has an ultra-quiet
cooling fan for maximum heat dissipation and power and activity
lights, a feature not usually found in drives in this price
range.
To ensure maximum connectivity, performance
and durability, the SDX drives are available in an anodized
aluminum design. The power adapter uses extra heavy gauge
wire as well as a heavy duty connector with oversized pins
for 5 VDC and 12 VDC.
“The SDX hard disk drives are designed
to exceed the requirements of the most demanding users,”
explains Avastor President Steve Smith. “Whether you
are storing uncompressed high-definition digital video, multi-track
high-resolution audio, mega-pixel digital photography or any
application that requires maximum throughput, the Avastor
SDX with uncompromised performance and legendary reliability
meets the challenge.”
The SDX line is available in three models:
- SDX 200 (USB 2.0 model)
- SDX 400 (dual FireWire 400/USB 2.0)
- SDX 1000 (QUAD model: FireWire 00/ 800
/ eSATA / USB2.0)
Each with a choice of 80 GB, 160 GB, 250
GB, 500 GB, 750 GB or 1 TB capacities.
eSATA technology offers 3Gb/s performance
in a single drive configuration for data-intensive applications
including real-time video editing, digital photography and
high-speed data back up. All models are equipped with the
Oxford Semiconductor bridgeboard which offers compatibility
and reliability across different computer platforms and digital
workstations – for example, Digidesign Protools.
Just like the HDX series, every SDX has
a sustained speed test and is MAC HFS+ formatted before being
shipped. All SDX drives are equipped with 7200 RPM SATA II
internal drive mechanisms with up to 32 MB cache. High-quality,
data cables are included for each interface type, allowing
the drives to be easily connected straight out of the box.
Every SDX hard disk drive is packaged in a compact, reusable
box with a convenient carry handle and is backed by a comprehensive
two-year warranty.
The SDX portable hard disk drive line is
currently shipping and begins retailing at $135.00 USD.
