New External Pocket HDD From Plextor, the PX-PH320US

Plextor is extending its range of personal storage products with  the new 320GB pocket hard disk, the Plextor PX-PH320US.  Small enough to fit in your pocket, it not only looks stylish in a brushed aluminium case, but, using the eSATA interface, offers transfer rate  of up to 3Gbps.

Building on the existing drives with 120, 160 & 250GB  capacities, the Plextor PX-PH320US comes with  a huge 320GB  capacity. It has dual USB2.0/eSATA interfaces (including eSATA cable) and is also Mac and PC compatible.

The drive offers a practical data capacity for everyday use and its compact size (17mm thick and 190g in weight) means you can easily slip it into your pocket, briefcase or handbag. Included is a handy carrying pouch for extra protection.

It comes pre-loaded with Plextor’s specially developed version of PlexTools software for hard disks, the PlexTools Professional HDD. An important feature of this utility is password protection, to keep all personal and business data safe and secure from prying eyes.
