Building on a long and distinguished heritage as the market leader in professional recording media,Sony introduces a new lineup of portable
storage to add to its portfolio of professional media products.These new shuttle drives are available in both HDD (hard disk drive) and SSD (solid
state drive) models and are perfect for the safe transport of content after a shoot or edit.Their reinforced protective hard case reduces the chance
of damage during shipment, making the Sony shuttle drives one of the safest, fastest, most convenient ways to transfer your important digital assets.
These new shuttle drives are designed to super-protect your data during transportation.They come shielded in a sturdy, shock-resistant, silicon cover
with interface doors designed to withstand the rigors of professional field use.The internal architecture surrounds the drive with cushions and buffers
as an added level of protection. Users can daisy-chain two or three shuttle drives together for double or triple storage space.1Their shoot-and-ship
capability make them ideal for today’s professional video workflow.
Best of all, the Sony shuttle drives come in two file storage options that cover different post-production needs. Choose HDD in either 500GB or 1TB
when you need the most storage space or select SSD with transfer speeds up to 400MB/s2when you need to backup data fast.
