AIRHAWK A9
Mobile (Pocket) Hard Drives - FireWire 800, FireWire 400 and USB Ports
The AIRHAWK pocket drives deliver exceptional performance and reliability. Designed and engineered to meet the needs of a demanding mobile data storage market, the AIRHAWK 2.5” external hard drives are compatible with both Windows® and Macintosh® environments.
AIRHAWK A9 - “These drives are both bus-powered and bootable.” The new AIRHAWK pocket drives contain a fast, high capacity 2.5” SATA drive mechanism, with up to 800 Mbit/sec transfer speed and multiple interfaces in a stylish case for thermal efficiency and silent operation.
Groundbreaking Design
The first design of its kind, the AIRHAWK sets a new standard for unprecedented design, quality, versatility and capability that will satisfy the most sophisticated audience. With its distinct touch and crisp angular design, the enclosure has the appearance and feel of a space vehicle because of its re-entrant triangles, corner reflectors and platform alignments. The Airhawk pocket drives can be placed on either side.
Despite its diminutive size and shock-absorbent chamber, the AIRHAWK’s wide array of ports ensures maximum compatibility regardless of the type of computer or operating system in use. A combination of ports, FireWire 800 (1394b IEEE), FireWire 400 (1394a IEEE) and High Speed USB 2.0, makes these devices some of the most versatile drives on the market.
Wide Range of Applications
Operating with Mac OS, Linux® and Windows®, this external drive offers storage capacities ranging from 250GB to 500GB as well as “plug-and-play” capability with hard drive speeds of up to 7,200rpm. This allows users to quickly back up or archive valuable data, large video files and digital photo collections. The bootable feature allows the user to boot, access and operate all programs and data via any other computer under the same OS environment.
