A-DATA SH93 super-rugged portable hard drive

Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Design, Storage

I’m not in the habit of keeping my portable hard drives next to the bathtub, but if I did, the SH93 from A-DATA would be a legitimate contender. These new portable HDDs can last up to 30 minutes when plunged into one meter of water. And hey, not only is it water-resistant, but it’s durable in other ways.  The rubberized coating can survive the military MIL-STD-810F drop test, so you know it’s solid, right? 

No word on pricing or availability as yet, but they will come in a red or yellow finish in memory capacities of 240, 320, 500, and 640GB.

Sony DPP-F700 digital picture frame and printer

Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Displays, Storage

There are rarely any real differentiating features when it comes to digital picture frames, other than cost and screen quality. Sony looks to change that perception with the DPP-F700, which can print 4x6 photos using “one touch printing” alongside TruFast technology for its 300x300 dpi end result. 

As for the other usual features, this 7-inch frame has 1GB of memory, time/date display, and support for Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, SD card, SDH Card, CF Card, and xD-Picture Card.  The Sony DPP-F700 should be out sometime in November for about $290.

Transcend JetFlash V70 anti-shock USB drive has rubberized coating

Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Storage, USB

There is never a shortage of USB flash drives on the market, and what makes Transcend’s JetFlash V70 different is its rubber coating.  It is capable of surviving some good drops, which is important when you are lugging several of these things around.  And don’t get me started on the importance of the tethered cap holder. 

The color of the drive tells you much memory each of them have.  The purple is 4 GB, the orange is 8 GB, and the red is 16 GB.  No word on the price, though.

Corsair Flash Voyager GT: World’s Fastest Thumb Drive at 128GB

Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Storage, USB

Take a good look at the Corsair Flash Voyager GT.  It may be a little fat around the USB connector, but it is, according to the company, the fastest USB drive in the world. Well, that’s according to the company, so we can take that with a grain of salt, but still, impressive nonetheless.  With reading speeds of up to 32 MB/s and write speeds of up to 25.6 MB/s, that might be hard to top, at least for now.  Sadly, we don’t have word on pricing or availability, but we do know it will pack in 128GB of storage space.
