Iomega REV Range Boosted By New High Capacity REV 120GB Backup Drive

Iomega has announced that their range of REV backup drives is to be
supplemented by a new, high capacity REV 120GB capacity model boasting
transfer rates of up to 30MB per second based on new 120GB disks
offering an estimated one million rewrite capabilities.

According to Tom Kampfer, President and CEO of Iomega, the new REV 120GB
Backup Drive offers 'more native capacity, near instantaneous random
access to files, faster backups and restores, and ruggedized cartridges
all at a much better drive price. In addition, REV drives offer
today's multimedia enthusiast a limitless storage solution for libraries
of content with each 120GB REV disk holding approximately 48,000 photos,
2,000 hours of music or 12 hours of high-definition video.'

Apparently due to be released worldwide in April, pricing details
regarding Iomega's new high capacity REV 120GB Backup Drive is yet to be
made public though we cannot help but think that, with the major
increase in HDD capacities we've seen of late, Iomega need to price this
unit extremely competitively in order to wow consumers.
