Samsung STORY Station Plus Samsung STORY Station Plus External HDD Boasts eSATA Support, Offers up to 2TB Capacity

Samsung have introduced a new, upgraded version of its Samsung STORY
Station in the form of the Samsung STORY Station Plus which, along with
offering the same USB 2.0 interface as its predecessor, additionally
boasts eSATA support offering enhanced data transfer rates.
Ideal for large volume data backup, the new Samsung STORY Station Plus,
in utilising an eSATA interface, offers a maximum data transfer speed of
up to 3Gbps as opposed to the 40Mbps offered by USB 2.0 and as well as
coming with a host of bundled-in software (specifically Auto Backup,
SecretZone and SafetyKey) the new Samsung STORY Station Plus offers a
maximum capacity of 2TB, with 1TB and 1.5TB capacities also being
represented.
Additionally we assume that the new version of the STORY also touts the
same eco credentials as its USB 2.0 only cousin which would see the
drive manufactured from the same environmentally-friendly materials that
comply with international environmental standards such as RoHS whilst
also offering the same auto-standby function that serves to power down
the drive following five minutes of inactivity (though the
aforementioned features are yet to be confirmed).
At this juncture there s no word from Samsung concerning the new STORY
Station Plus s date of availability or pricing across the three models
in the range.
