WiebeTech Shipping its FireWire 800 MicroGB+ Pocket Drive

1999–2004August 13, 2003Macs Only!Peripherals
The new version is named MicroGB800. All configurations are in stock. Users will be able to transfer data at a rate of greater than 2.1GB per minute when ordered with a 60GB/7200RPM drive. WiebeTech's internal testing shows peak transfer rates that are close to 50MB/sec, and sustained transfer rates are approximately 38MB/sec when using the 7200RPM drive. All of this is achieved in an enclosure with dimensions less than 5 inches x 3 inches x .65 inches.

The product features dual FireWire 800 ports and a single mini USB2 port. An AC adapter is included (although the product is bus powered in FireWire mode and with certain USB hosts). An attractive carrying case is also included. The MicroGB800 bare case costs $159.95.
