Pocket eSATA/USB DigiDrive

The Pocket eSATA/USB DigiDrive is Addonics advanced generations of Flash memory reader/writer. Comes in the size of a portable floppy drive, the Pocket eSATA/USB DigiDrive connects practically any flash memory media, including the latest SDHC standard, to any computer or equipment via either high speed eSATA or the ubiquitous USB interface. When connected to eSATA port, any flash media can be used as bootable device with read/write speed up to 150MB/sec.

Drivers
eSATA/USB Digidrive removable drive icon
Applies to: AEPDDESU, AEIDDSAU

Firmware version AESKW528.    This firmware makes the flash media to appear as removable disk using eSATA or SATA connection irregardless of the switch setting on the drive. This feature is to make the media useable by certain software designed to work with removable media only. Using this firmware, the flash media can no longer be used for booting as most OS do not support booting from removable disk.

Applies to: AEPDDESU, AEIDDSAU

Firmware Version AESKW520. Standard firmware to add SDXC support to Pocket eSATA/USB and internal SATA/USB DigiDrive.
