kits in the market. Practically any 2.5" IDE hard drive can be installed
into this drive kit and turn into an external hard drive in seconds. There

connect the Pocket ExDrive to any computer via USB, Firewire or
Serial ATA interface using the Addonics interchangeable USIB interface
cables. Or you can even use it as a removable IDE hard drive in any desktop
computer or equipment. The Pocket ExDrive is also designed with option
to take power directly from the computer so you can have true portability*.

PC Power Supply when using optional drive cradle
Note:
1. Some Notebook may not provide adequate power through the PCMCIA slot
or USB port to power the external hard drive. The 4-pin Firewire port,
also commonly known as DV port or iLink port, does not provide power to
external device.
* Addonics has successfully tested
the Pocket ExDrive using Direct power or BUS Power from USB, PCMCIA or
Firewire or PSII port on various brands of Notebook and Desktop computers.
It is recommended that you choose a hard drive that is rated with 500
mA or less to ensure reliable operation using BUS power. In any case,
Addonics does not guarantee the Pocket ExDrive to work with just the BUS
power as the amount of power from these different ports do vary from different
system manufacturers. iLink is the Sony Firewire standard and does not
provide power to the peripheral device. Check with your system manufacturer
for detail specification of your Firewire port.
Information subject to change without notice.
