ADATA Launches World’s Thinnest External Hard Drive

Company makes its mark with visually striking expansion of the DashDrive HDD lineup


Taipei, Taiwan – September 27, 2012 - ADATA™ Technology today announces the launch of the DashDrive™ Elite HE720 external hard drive, a USB 3.0 compatible device that is the thinnest of its kind on the market.

Sporting a brushed stainless steel surface, and with a record-breaking slim profile of only 8.9mm thickness, the HE720 demonstrates once again the company’s consistently strong ability to combine top performance with style. The brushed metal case with protective layer provides 9H scratch resistance, which prevents damage even after long-term use.

The drive features a bright blue LED indicator to indicate power and data transfer status, as well as the company’s popular “one-touch backup” feature, which automatically backs up and synchronizes data with one easy touch. The USB 3.0 interface offers transfer efficiency up to three times that of older USB 2.0 devices, but retains full backward compatibility with earlier versions.

Purchasers of ADATA's external storage devices are eligible for a free download of the latest Norton Internet Security 2012 anti-virus software (60 day trial version), and also enjoy three year warranty service, ensuring better mobility, security and convenience.

Since announcing the new product family in June, ADATA has moved quickly to release products that embody the speed and portability signified by the DashDrive name. The DashDrive Elite group is comprised of the most advanced products in terms of performance and design, and the HE720 is looking to be a strong addition to ADATA’s top tier external storage products. Initial launch capacity will be 500GB.

Availability

The DashDrive Elite HE720 will be available through selected distributors and resellers in the Europe, at a MSRP of £52.9. (VAT excluded).
