Formac disk mini drive
Formac has released a new portable hard drive, a version of the disk mini that supports FireWire 400, as well as the alternative's USB 2.0. Capacities from 60 to 160GB are available, and because the mini relies on six-pin FireWire, either connection can be used as the power source. The casing is notable for having a Mac-friendly black or white aesthetic, and also using a shock absorption system, protecting the drive from less dramatic impacts. Formac is currently marketing the new disk mini in Europe, where AppleMac.biz is selling it for prices ranging between £60 ($120) and £135 ($270) without VAT. [via Tech Digest]
