Portable storage devices provide the most practical method for both small business and home users to back up their most important computer data. Capacity has now reached such a big size on these devices that users can now truly call them multimedia-compatible, and not just copy text files to them, but also audio and video files and large ones at that.
Take the Smartdisk Firelite portable hard drive: Its latest incarnation offers 20Gbyte of storage and yet it weighs less than 180g so it’s small and light enough to fit in a Cromby coat pocket. The Firelite is available with a choice of two connections — either IEEE 1394 or FireWire as its is marketed by Apple, and USB 2.0 — the latest high speed data transfer connection for Windows PC. While IEEE 1394 is supported by some Windows systems, it has become the transfer standard for desktop publishers and graphic designers who use the Macintosh platform to produce their work.
And this device is ideal for designers who need to transfer high resolution, graphic-intensive files to reproduction studios and printers. It provides them with a low cost method for moving large files. The fact that one of the models supports both USB 1.0 and 2.0 means that data can be transferred from one USB-enabled PC or Mac to another in an office environment without the need for a high speed network.
