Anyone who wants to quickly and easily store massive amounts of digital content or large business files
Maxtor Corporation has announced the Personal Storage 3000XT, an external hard disk drive with 160GB capacity and operating over a fast FireWire (IEEE 1394) interface. This solution lets creative professionals, business and home users archive and store vast amounts of audio, video, graphics, images, and web and presentation files.
With Maxtors Personal Storage 3000XT users can easily consolidate and store, on a single drive, volumes of data or digital content from tapes, floppies, CDs, DVD-ROMs and the web. With the FireWire interface, access is rapid, freeing users from spending time searching by hand through piles of floppies, Zip cartridges and CDs. Music and video files can be saved in their original uncompressed format without compromising audio or video quality.
As their requirements grow, 3000XT users can easily connect up to 62 drives for maximum capacity. Sharing and transferring files is quick and easy since both Mac and PC systems equipped with IEEE 1394 ports immediately recognise the drive.
Professional users will discover the 3000XT useful for storing:
pre-press print files
Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator files
uncompressed, high-resolution scanned photos.
The 3000XT is also ideal for digital families, satisfying their increasing appetite to create and collect vast amounts of digital content, including:
Dads uncompressed digital video (5 hours = 65GB)
Mums digital photos of the kids (2,000 photos = 2GB)
Family music collection (5,000 MP3 songs = 20GB)
Kids video games (20 CD-ROMs = 13GB).
Home users and professionals need to store more digital data
As the world becomes increasingly digital, more and more hard drive capacity is needed to store our digital content.
There is an increasing need among professionals and home AV enthusiasts for solutions that store vast amounts of data in a single container, with the flexibility to transfer this data from one system to another more conveniently.
