Glyph Technology PGFW8001B-500 500GB PortaGig 800 Bus Powered Pocket Drive

The PortaGig Hard Drive makes portable Recording and Editing easy. With its tiny bus-powered enclosure, it’s small enough to fit into a pocket, and powerful enough to support field recording, storing and exchanging A/V, graphics, prepress, and Desktop publishing files. With FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 interfaces, PortaGig 800 is compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux systems supporting FireWire or USB. Designed with a fanless, light aluminum enclosure, it allows you to work on the road easily and reliably. If bus power is not available or is insufficient, you can use the included power supply.
