Highlights
Apricorn's tiny portable drive, the Aegis Mini, is
now available in 80GB, 120GB and 160GB capacities. Smaller than a deck of cards and weighing in at a mere 3.7 oz, the pocket-sized Aegis Mini has enough capacity to store your entire collection of photos, music and videos - up to 40,000 songs or 200 hours of video.
The Aegis Mini's robust, compact design centers around a 16-point omni-directional shock-mounted 1.8" hard drive and comes with a padded neoprene travel pouch, protecting the drive from the rigors of travel. With extremely low power demands, the Aegis Mini is bus powered certified, ensuring that the drive powers on all notebooks. Pair this with your choice of a convenient integrated USB 2.0 or FireWire cable, which wraps neatly around the Mini when not in use, and you have the perfect notebook storage companion.
