2x FireWire 800 ports / Fast internal SATA II drive / Oxford 934 chip / 5,400-RPM / 8MB cache Buffer Size / USB and Bus Power / Weighs less than 10 ounces

The PortaGig 800 tiny bus-powered Hard Drive weighs less than 10 ounces, but is powerful enough to support high track-count Audio sessions, and has been tested and approved with Digidesign Pro Tools. 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. The included USB cable is a "Y" cable: one end connects to the drive and two ends can be connected to the computer. In some situations, a single USB port will not supply enough USB bus power for the PortaGig 800, and two computer USB ports are needed. Due to differing bus power specs, the safest choice is to use the PortaGig 800 with the included DC power supply. Additionally, the DC power supply should be used with PortaGig 800 in capacities of 200GB or higher.
