Eine externe SSD mit USB 3.0

 

 

Aviator2-1aActive Media Products hat mit dem "Aviator-2 Superspeed USB 3.0" eine externe Festplatte mit einer 2,5 Zoll großen Solid State Disk (SSD) vorgestellt, die je nach Modell mit 64 oder 128 GByte Speicherkapazität ausgerüstet ist. Die Aviator-2 soll eine Lesegeschwindigkeit (nur die ist für unsere Vorführung wichtig) von 230 MByte pro Sekunde erreichen (64und 128 GByte). Die eingesetzte SSD Predator X7 verwendet MLC NAND Flash. Zum Vergleich meine beliebte aber 4 Jahre alte S-ATA HDR 74GB, Raptor, mit 10.000U/min hat gemessene 120 MByte/sec!
Das Gehäuse misst ungefähr 13,5 x 8,5 x 1,5 cm und ist auch ohne SSD erhältlich. Die externe Festplatte kann mit entsprechenden Geschwindigkeitseinbußen auch an USB 2.0 und 1.1 betrieben werden.
Das Leergehäuse wird für 35 US-Dollar verkauft, während das Modell mit 64 GByte Speicher mit rund 260 US-Dollar zu Buche schlägt. Für rund 450 US-Dollar wechselt die externe SSD Aviator-2 von Active Media Products mit 128 GByte Speicherkapazität den Besitzer. Im Lieferumfang sind ein Transportbeutel und das USB-Kabel enthalten. Für Europa kann man meistens 1:1 umrechnen.


Fremont, California – February 16, 2010– Active Media Products, manufacturer of SSDs and innovative USB drives, today launched the new Aviator-2 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 external 2.5-inch SSDs, which offer a 400% performance gain compared to USB 2.0 external HDDs.Aviator2-2a

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 supports transfer speeds up to 4.8Gbits/sec -- ten times faster than USB 2.0. Aviator-2 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 external SSDs take advantage of USB 3.0's massive bandwidth, delivering unprecedented performance in a mobile flash storage device. Measuring just over 3 x 5 inches, the Aviator-2 is slim enough to slip into a jacket pocket.

The Aviator-2 is offered as an external USB 3.0 case-only to accommodate any standard 2.5-inch SATA HDD. With a SATA HDD installed the Aviator-2 removes the bottleneck of external USB 2.0 HDDs and unleashes the full speed of the hard drive. Or for those who don't like to wait, the Aviator-2 is available with a 64GB or 128GB Predator X7 SSD installed. For ultimate external speed, the Aviator-2 plus Predator X7 SSD will move your data at speeds up to 200MB/sec.

Aviator-2 SSDs are designed for external use, and include a felt carrying pouch and a USB 3.0 cable for connection to any USB port. The Aviator-2 is fully backward compatible; it works in any USB 2.0 or 1.1 port, but requires a SuperSpeed port to reach its full performance capabilities. A USB 2.0 power cable is included to meet the high power requirements of some HDDs, but the supplemental power is not needed with the Predator SSD installed. SuperSpeed USB is the ultimate interface for moving huge files in a hurry or for backing up data onto an external drive, and the Aviator-2 SSD is your best choice for extremely fast portable storage.Aviator2-3a

According to Jerry Thomson, vice president of sales at Active Media Products, "These products effectively render external USB 2.0 hard drives obsolete since for a few dollars more you can plug a 2.5-inch hard drive into the Aviator-2 case and get up to 200% faster performance. Or the Aviator-2 bundled with our Predator SSD inside will blow away any hard drive with speeds above 150MB/sec". Aviator-2 SSDs are available now through Amazon. Active Media Products also offers Atomix USB 3.0 PCIe and Express Card adapters to easily upgrade any desktop or laptop to USB 3.0.
