ULTRA-COMPACT SOLID-STATE DRIVE WITH TYPE-C AND USB 3.1 GEN 2 DELIVERS ULTRA-FAST READ/WRITE SPEEDS
Egham, UK – 23 January 2016: Freecom announces the launch in Europe of the mSSD MAXX – a super-fast, compact and stylish SSD for Mac and PC users. The introduction of the high-performing and lightweight SSD completes the line-up for the wider Freecom family of HDD and SSD products which all boast a strong aluminium enclosure with a sleek brushed metal textured appearance.
Available in 512GB, the mSSD MAXX delivers data transfer speeds of up to 700MB/s, making it one of the fastest portable SSDs available in the market.
The storage device weighs just 72g and measures 91mm x 57mm and 10mm (L x W x H) to strike a very appealing balance between pocket-friendly portability and accelerated performance that allows users to dramatically reduce data read and write waiting times.
To enable Mac and PC owners to benefit from improved connectivity, the mSSD MAXX is available with two cables for convenient and superfast data transfer: a USB 3.1 Type-A to Type-C cable and a USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-C cable
The drive is FAT32 formatted which allows it to be used interchangeably between Windows and Mac computers without reformatting. For content with files sizes larger than 4GB, software is supplied on the drive to reformat to HFS+ for Macs and NTFS for PCs.
The drive comes pre-installed with Nero Backup software for full system backup and restore functionality which allows users to schedule automatic backups by date and time, compress files to save space, or encrypted backup with password protection.
The Freecom mSSD MAXX 512GB has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of around £269. It comes with a three-year manufacturer’s warranty and unlimited helpdesk support.
