Imation Wireless USB Hard Drive

Rich Gates September 18, 2008 Flash Storage, Wireless

Yep, you heard it right.Â Imation, from my understanding, is the first to offer a USB hard drive that is completely wireless.Â Well, expect for the power cord. The Imation Apollo Pro WX is the wireless hard drive with speeds close to that of wired speeds.Â Since the product isn’t yet available, we’ll need to wait for real-world results, but I’m keeping an optimistic outlook.Â Mostly because I REALLY want one.

The Apollo Pro WX will use Seagate hard drives and will come in a variety of sizes with a maximum capacity of 1.5TBs.Â The wireless hard drive solution has a total range of about 30 feet.Â Meaning your hard drive can sit, by itself, up to 30 feet away from computers and read/write data as though you had a direct connect hard drive.Â Talk about conveninece, this is it! Since USB wireless isn’t available on all computers, the Imation wireless hard drive will still come with an available USB port and cable for those who haven’t made the switch. Along with no price tag, Imation is also vague about release date, just sometime in the fall. Source:Â Electronista.
