Apricorn has recently announced the introduction of its new Aegis Desktop, a storage and backup solution designed to provide support to both desktop and notebook computer users. Offering support for a maximum storage capacity of up to 1.5TB, the fresh solution comes in a sleek and compact form factor that allows it to be easily integrated on the user's desk. Featuring support for all mainstream connectivity options, the Aegis Desktop is ready to provide the necessary storage to back-up your personal files and other additional digital content.


“Backing up your data should never feel like a chore,” said Michelle Fischer, Apricorn’s Marketing Manager. “With the speed of eSATA, the Aegis Desktop makes it faster and easier than ever, leaving you with no excuse not to protect valuable files, applications and more.”

 

With an increasing demand for higher capacity storage solutions, this Aegis Desktop from Apricorn makes good use of the 3.5-inch SATA hard drive, which boasts a 7200RPM platter speed and can reach transfer speeds of up to 300MB/s.

 

The solution has been designed to easily work with both Windows and Mac operating systems, thanks to the adoption of the mainstream USB 2.0 port, which will enable transfer speeds of up to 480Mbps. For those users whose desktops have been upgraded to the latest hardware solutions available on the market, the Aegis Desktop also boasts an eSATA interface, for faster connection speeds.

With the launch of its new Aegis Desktop storage solution, Apricorn will provide users with a choice for 500GB, 1TB, and 1.5TB capacities, each model being available for a different price tag. If you have been looking for a solution that can help you back-up your personal data from either your desktop or portable PC, the Aegis Desktop can be yours for prices of US$119, US$144 and US$229, depending on the storage capacity.
