A-Data Also Rolls Out 640GB, Portable HDDs

This might as well have been storage day, given the high number of new product releases that have fallen in this category and have been announced today or in the recent days. On that note, it appears that A-Data has decided to lose no time in announcing its customers that it's ready to provide them with a new, upgraded product portfolio. The company has just informed that it is now ready to deliver as much as 640GB of storage space, in its line of 2.5-inch, external, portable hard-drive family.

Closely following in the footsteps of its competitors, including Western Digital, Samsung and Toshiba, A-Data announced today the addition of the new, 640GB storage capacity to its entire line of 2.5-inch, portable hard drives. According to the company, the portfolio, which includes models like the Classic CH-91 and the NH 92 series, will provide users with a choice for the higher-capacity storage solution, in a portable package. As you can expect from any respectable, external storage solution, the updated drives are featured with a traditional USB 2.0 interface, allowing them to be connected to any computer system.

Unfortunately, the company hasn't yet unveiled when the new, increased-capacity solutions are going to be made available, although it is bound to kick them out the door as soon as possible, in an attempt to be more competitive, when compared with the aforementioned storage vendors. Pricing details are also to be unveiled.

The 640GB, external hard drive, coming in its portable, 2.5-inch form factor, is a noteworthy addition for any portable PC user, especially for those that are employing a netbook PC on a regular basis. These low-power systems are known for their storage limitations, as most systems are featured with a 160GB hard drive.
