Akitio External SSD With Thunderbolt From 120GB to 256GB

Akitio USA, makers of network and direct attached storage products, announced the addition of their new 256GB one bay, bus powered Thunderbolt storage solution.

This larger capacity SSD product joins the original 120GB SSD solution previously introduced last year. The new 256GB option is something that users have been longing for as the original 120GB product was just not large enough for many people involved in video editing and other occupations where larger storage capacity was required.

By incorporating a Thunderbolt connection with an SSD, and a SATA controller, Akitio is able to obtain data transfer speeds of up to 464MB/s making a fast one bay, bus powered external storage device.

The Neutrino comes bundled with a Thunderbolt cable making it a plug and play solution.

Using the Thunderbolt port as a power source this drive does not require a separate power adapter. This portable device lets the user experience the speed, performance, and flexibility of Thunderbolt with the benefits of additional space.

The device is backed up with a two-year warranty.
