Fujitsu last week unveiled a compact 300GB External Hard Disc Drive (HDD) that should appeal to mobile workers looking to transport and secure large amounts of data.
The USB 2.0 device can be charged via a laptop and features a 16-point omnidirectional shock mounting design that should prevent damage to data through accidents. It also comes with Data Protection Suite for PC security and backup tools pre-installed.
Also bundled with the drive are Apricorn’s EZ Gig II for Windows, which lets firms back up a system as an image or exact clone, and can compress these into a single file; the Cryptainer encryption programme, which uses 448bit encryption to secure data; and Second Copy 2000 tools, which enable smooth file-sharing and multiple backups.
The drive is expected to be released in the US in autumn. UK pricing and availability details have yet to be announced.
