Archos Technology - QDisk
by Stephen Jones (November 20, 2002)
Remember when floppies began to seem
slow? USB drives are starting to
supplant floppies in the "portable means
pokey" category. Definitely convenient,
but slow.
Archos Technology has a no-compromise
solution for anyone who requires large off-site
backups or needs to transport data in bulk such
as digital audio or video. The 60 GB Qdisk
bypasses first-generation USB bottlenecks by
moving data at USB 2.0 speeds. That's
480 MB/sec or 40 times the speed of USB 1.1.
and even 80 MB/sec faster than FireWire
drives.
Features:
60 GB (up to 160 GB models coming)
hot-swappable
Works on Mac or PC
USB 2.0 (480 MB/sec)
6.6" x 4.5" x 1.7" (168 mm x 115 mm x 45 mm)
27.5oz (780g)
