Surely you remember Sanho's HyperDrive lineup -- ya know, the only
portable HDD that plays nicely with the iPad? Well, if you don't dig
the $249 entry level price, you're in luck. The company just announced
a bunch of new HDDs for you to take with you and your iPad on that
road trip you've had planned for years. The new drives no longer sport
the QVGA color display or the CF and SD card slots -- instead, the
black case has two mini USB ports and a power socket. The HyperDrive
doesn't come with the traditional AC adapter but instead a USB-to-DC
cable and the user-replaceable battery will allow up to 40GB of
transfers on a single charge. And if you're wondering why there's two
USB ports, we really couldn't tell you. Perhaps if you choose the
right port while connected to your PC and enter the Konami code,
unicorns and fairy dust will pop out of your screen -- wishful
thinking, we know. The HyperDrives ship in March (pre-ordering is
available now) with prices starting at $99 for a bring-your-own-drive
housing, 1TB for $349 and various sizes in-between. So, if your photo/
video library is worth accessing at all times, well, props to you.
Press release is after the break.
