Iomega Introduces New Mac Companion Hard Drive With Charging Port For Apple Devices
Iomega announced the new Iomega Mac Companion Hard Drive styled to match the latest Mac computers with a convenient 2.1A port to charge your iPad, iPhone and iPod, as well as selection of computer interfaces for connecting peripherals like a printer or other external storage devices.
Available in 2TB and 3TB capacities, the new Iomega Mac Companion Hard Drive utilizes a fast 7200 RPM 3.5-inch hard drive formatted HFS+ for compatibility with Mac computers right out of the box. Also, the design of the Mac Companion Hard Drive allows it to fit on the base of your Apple iMac or your Apple monitor.
The drive includes two FireWire 800 ports, one USB 2.0 port and a 2-port integrated USB 2.0 hub that lets you connect multiple devices such as printers or other external storage devices. As for cables, the Mac Companion Hard Drive comes with one FireWire 800, one conversion FireWire 400-800, and one USB 2.0 cable.
The novelty also features a capacity indicator gauge that lets you know approximately how much space is available to store data. Four LEDs on the front of the Mac Companion Hard Drive tell you the total capacity of the data volume that is being used to store files:
- 4 LEDs lit white: less than 20% capacity in use
- 3 LEDs white: 20-40% capacity in use
- 2 LEDs white: 40-60% capacity in use
- 1 LED white: 60-80% capacity in use
- 1 LED red: more than 80% capacity in use
The new drive is available worldwide in two capacities: the 2TB model is $239.99, and the 3TB model is $369.99. It will initially be available exclusively at Apple retail stores and the Apple online store. Later this month, the product will be available from additional stores. Both models of the Iomega Mac Companion Hard Drive include a three-year warranty with registration.
