More and more people are working with large fi les such as
DTP/graphical fi les and uncompressed video and audio.
The need for an external hard drive with top speed and
top reliability is more present then ever. The new Freecom
Hard Drive Quattro provides it all. Its eSATA interface
provides you with the fastest data transfer speed to date
for a single external hard drive. Connected to eSATA,
the Hard Drive Quattro performs up to 6x times faster
than a standard USB 2.0 hard drive. The FireWire 800 &
400 interfaces have been the standard for years in the
Mac world when it comes to external storage, providing a
reliable and fast data transfer.
For optimal fl exibility and portability, the Hard Drive
Quattro is also equipped with a USB 2.0 connection, so
you can connect it to any modern computer that does
not have an eSATA or FireWire interface.
The Hard Drive Quattro comes in a stylish aluminium
enclosure which will compliment the design of your PC
or Mac, with the possibility to position it horizontally or
vertically on your desk.
The Freecom Hard Drive Quattro is pre-formatted
(FAT-32), so you’re ready to use your drive seconds after
connecting it to your PC or Mac. At Freecom we create
storage solutions from a consumer’s perspective, where
convenience and quality are key factors.
