PQI introduced the H566, a new 2.5" external hard disk with USB 3.0 connectivity. These new disks will start shipping in capacities of 320GB, 500GB, and 640GB.
PQI’s USB3.0 2.5” portable hard drive H566 has been officially released and it is world’s first USB3.0 2.5” portable hard drive to the market. Since H566 began mass production last week, it has already resulted in a volume of inquiries from domestic and international buyers, making it the first USB3.0 device with significant sales volume. PQI’s H566 not only have spectacular bandwidth of USB3.0, its 2.5” hard drive dimensions is convenient to carry and has aesthetic looks, making it the new IT toy you just got to have!
Digital media these days are geared towards higher resolution and higher definition. USB2.0’s maximum theoretical bandwidth is 480Mbps/sec, which can no longer meet the demands of transferring digital content. H566 uses the latest USB technology to meet these demands. It features a theoretical bandwidth of 5Gbps/sec, which is about 10x that of USB2.0 and is backward compatible with USB2.0. With its faster transfer rate, it means less time required when transferring the same amount of data which translates to less time and electricity used. It provides energy saving and is green, no doubt it will soon become the mainstream peripheral connection interface!
PQI’s 2.5” USB 3.0 external hard drive H566 has a new metallic silver casing that further accentuates its fashion appeal. It is available in 320GB / 500GB / 640GB capacities for users to choose from and all come with the security software, Ur Fortress. It has the complete data encryption function including classified data protection and personal data privacy so users can safely store and manage their data efficiently.
