BLAZER 700
Ruggedized Desktop Mobile Hard Drive with USB 3 and FireWire 800 Ports
Available in September 2011
Designed, engineered, integrated, and assembled in the United States to satisfy the requirements of demanding audio and video professionals and government agencies, the Blazer line can support a Solid State Drive “SSD” or a fast SATA high-capacity 3.5″ hard drive, and has a unique stylish and ruggedized design that will complement any desktop. It features a recycled aluminum case that can be conveniently stacked or mounted vertically. With its built-in power supply and fan-less and quiet operation, the Blazer can be easily moved from one desktop environment to another using the provided carrying case. The Blazer is compatible with both Windows and Macintosh environments without any software installations.
The Blazer external hard drives deliver extraordinary performance, rapid file transfer speeds (up to 5,000 Mbits/s via USB 3.0 or up to 800 Mbits/s via FireWire 800), and proven reliability for both Mac and PC users. And because it provides up to 3TB single hard drive (4TB will be available 4Q2011), one of the first of its kind, this device is one of the most, if not the most, versatile desktop and/or portable external drives in the world.
The Blazer 700 is made with more than ~1.5 Lb (~0.75 Kg) of recycled aluminum, making this enclosure both ruggedized and durable. An exclusive shock-absorbing mechanism (patent pending) is built into the enclosure. Its function is to keep the hard drive suspended within the casing while dissipating the heat produced by the hard drive. The Blazer line is designed this way to allow peak performance while operating at an optimal temperature.
The built-in power supply offers the user added convenience by eliminating the need to carry nonstandard and sometimes hefty adaptors and cables that are normally required to power typical hard drives. The power supply contained in the Blazer line is Auto-Switchable 240VA/100VA (will work internationally) and uses any standard computer cable, no matter what country you are in. In addition, due to the heat dissipating automatically through the enclosure, there is no fan installed, which makes the device virtually silent while it is operating.
