Hitachi GST Unveils LifeStudio External Hard Drives
Meet the hard drive evolved: the Hitachi LifeStudio external hard drive family. During the last decade, external hard drives have offered little beyond design changes and simple storage and backup. With the new LifeStudio family, launched today by Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST), the company is breaking through the long-established confines of the category and delivering an external drive that combines highly reliable storage and new levels of data protection with content organization, management, socialization and navigation for both local and online content.
The LifeStudio family, offered in both portable and desktop models, creates an unprecedented solution that seamlessly pulls in, organizes and protects consumers’ priceless stored digital content – photos, videos, music and documents – and unifies them with online digital content from social networks such as Facebook and photo sites such as Flickr and Picasa Web Albums. These important digital memories are laid out on a stunning 3D visual wall, instead of in random and hard-to-find files and folders, creating a comprehensive and organized catalog of the user’s digital life. Redefining backup, consumers receive the benefits of both local and cloud backup within one single application, making it easy to view, download, and share protected cloud content from any web browser, anywhere.
Today, CDRLabs brings you a review of Transcend's first USB 3.0 compatible hard drive, the StoreJet 25D3. Along with a great looking design, this new portable drive packs some impressive performance. Thanks to its USB 3.0 interface, the StoreJet 25D3 is capable of reading and writing at speeds as high as 90 MB/s. It also features an internal hard drive suspension system which helps to prevent data loss caused by accidental slips or falls during travel.
