New Addonics Flash Reader/Writer and PC Card
Hard Drive
Puts Nine Media Storage Types in Your "Pocket"
SAN JOSE, CA (August 22, 2002) - Addonics Technologies today announced
a portable storage solution for users confounded by the incompatibility
of the numerous Flash media storage options found in today's digital
cameras, camcorders, PDAs, MP3 players, and voice recorders.
Addonics allows you to put nine popular formats in your pocket.
The new Addonics Pocket UDD™ (Ultra DigiDrive) is the first USB
2.0 external data storage Reader/Writer for PC Card (PCMCIA) hard
drives and the most popular form factors of Flash memory cards.
It supports today's popular digital media storage formats and doubles
as a PC Card hard drive reader/writer.
The Pocket UDD is also the fastest external data storage Reader/Writer
that connects to any computer or equipment with USB 2.0 or FireWire
interface. Maximum data transfer rates are 60MB/sec with USB2.0
or 50MB/sec with FireWire.
Standard PC Card hard drives and ATA Flash cards can be added and
removed from the Pocket UDD like any removable media. To read/write
to other flash media, Addonics provides the adapters to convert
the flash media to PCMCIA form factor. The adapters can be purchased
separately or as a bundled solution. When used with the Addonics
optional CF DigiAdapter or the 4-in-1 DigiAdapter, the Pocket UDD
can also read/write to all popular Flash media including: CF-I,
CF-II, Smart Media™, Memory stick™, Secure Digital Card™, Multimedia
Card™ or Micro Drive™.
Users can boot their system from the Addonics Pocket UDD via the
USB port depending on the BIOS support on each computer. The mobility,
fast data transfer rates, flexible USB or FireWire design interface,
and support for nine media types make the Addonics IDE Ultra DigiDrive
an indispensable storage device for all mobile users and desktop
PCs.
The base model Addonics Pocket UDD with USB 2.0 interface cable
has a list price of $89, or $119 with FireWire interface cable and
A/C power adapter. The 9-in-1 Pocket UDD models come bundled with
the Addonics 4-in-1 DigiAdapter, the CF DigiAdapter, and USB 2.0
or FireWire cable and have a list price of $149 for the USB 2.0
version or $179 for the FireWire version.
The Pocket UDD supports Windows 98/SE, Me, 2000, XP, Mac OS X (support
USB 1.1 only), and Linux kernel 2.4 or higher. The device measures
4.63 in (W) x 5.4 in (D) x .98in (H) and weighs just eight ounces.
