Imation Launches Apollo External Hard Drive Products

Providing portability, connectivity and leading edge capacities up to 1.5 TB for digitally-driven users, Imation Corporation has announced two new products in its Apollo family of external hard drives (EHD). The first product is the 2.5-inch Apollo Expert, a line of pocket-sized, portable EHDs sheathed in a protective skin. The second is the Apollo Pro, a line of 3.5-inch EHDs that keep impressive data capacities and stands out on the desk. Both lines are compatible with PC or Mac computers.

 

To cater to the individual needs of users relying on proven data storage, the Apollo Expert and Pro lines feature parallels and differences. With built-in sleep mode for energy conservation and one-touch, backup sync buttons for easy-to-use, automatic backup of data, photos, music and videos. Line similarities include integrated stands for vertical or horizontal orientation, low capacity/data activity indicator lights for easy identification of data processes.

 

Adding certified USB wireless capability for users who want to clear the cords from their workspace, the Apollo Pro line has launched the Apollo Pro WX. It is a certified wireless USB device and is ideal for clearing cords from workspace. Apollo Pro UX provides techno-savvy desktop users with a new generation 3.5-inch durable form factor. Along with a protective skin to prevent scratches and abrasions, the Apollo Expert UX provides portability and a leading-edge 2.5-inch form factor.

“We design our Apollo EHDs to be utilitarian and iconic,” said Subodh Kulkarni, vice president, Global Commercial Business, R&D and Manufacturing, Imation. “Utilitarian, because Apollo drives deliver the features and pure data storage performance that users need and crave; iconic, because Apollo drives simply look very good. Both lines provide a unique mix of features and benefits in both portable and desktop options, and Imation's Apollo Pro line offers consumers the Apollo Pro WX - an easy-to-use EHD that enables a cable-free, hassle-free workspace.”
