Imation Pro WX Wireless USB Hard Drive Becomes Official Worldโ€ s First Wireless USB External Hard Drive Available for $450

Imation has announced a brand new external hard drive which also happens
to be the first wireless USB external hard drive in the world so far. We
re surrounded by more and more wireless devices so a wireless hard drive
was probably bound to arrive. And it s Imation the first company that
came up with such a device, the Pro WX Wireless USB hard drive.
The drive promises to offer fast data transfer rates, enough capacity
for your needs and it s ready to free up some precious space on your desk.
The Pro WX Wireless USB drive is basically a 3.5-inch 1.5TB drive that
can connect wirelessly to your computer thanks to an USB dongle. The
drive has a range of up to 30 feet and you ll be able to enjoy transfer
speeds of up to 15MBs/second. That means you can �back up a typical CD
in under 50 seconds � and store up to 300,000 photos or 750 hours of
video on the Pro WX. If you re worried that hackers will be able to take
advantage of that wireless connection then rest assured that Imation
came up with a new one-to-one connection which will prevent signal
interception.
James Depuyd, director of technology at Imation had this to say about
the new wireless drive:
Imation continues to be a world leader in delivering innovative storage
products designed for our increasingly wireless world. We are now the
first to provide users with a Wireless USB hard drive to continuously
back up their most critical data in a unique product design. We will
continue to expand our wireless storage capabilities to enable our
customers to easily create, store, manage and share digital information.
The drive comes with a couple of interesting features like a low
capacity/data activity indicator, built-in sleep mode and one-touch
backup sync buttons that will let you easily backup all your precious
information.
So how much will Imation charge for this wireless drive packed with
features? The MSRP is $449.99. What do you say? Is it worth it?
