Mainstream 5400-RPM Performance
With laptop computers becoming more popular,
users expect a level of performance similar to legacy
desktop systems, which MobileMax offers. Faster
drives are also required for users to take full advantage
of faster backups using external drives with USB 2.0.
The 5400-RPM spin speed provides the best value in
performance—outpacing slower 4200-RPM mobile
drives at a mainstream, competitive price.
Durable
Whether it be for a laptop or external storage, a durable
drive is a must for mobile applications. Able to withstand
900Gs of nonoperating shock and 250Gs of operating
shock, MobileMax is rugged enough for users on the go.
Low Power Consumption
With low power consumption, MobileMax allows
mainstream laptop users to work and play longer
between battery charges. And users backing up their
data with external mobile storage devices can enjoy the
freedom of fewer cables, because the start-up current
of MobileMax is optimized to operate from a single USB
cable on most systems.
RoHS Compliant
MobileMax supports the EU directive for Restriction
of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)*. All available
MobileMax drives are RoHS-compliant.
*Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January, 2003.
