Toshiba adds elegant StorE steel and StorE art to its external hard
disk drive family
StorE steel and StorE art merge design with high capacity storage
technology
Neuss, Germany, 28th January 2009 Toshiba Europe expands
its external hard disk drive family with the addition of two new devices that
have a strong focus on design. StorE steel has a minimalist and elegant design
that comes in three glossy metallic colours. StorE art brings personalisation to
the market with a range of different colours and patterns. The new products in
the StorE family will be available during the first quarter of 2009 throughout
Europe, Middle East and Africa.
As people are increasingly gathering data, photos, videos and music clips,
they want to have access to their digital content from the different devices,
such as TV sets, laptops, or HiFi systems that they are using. External hard
disk drives are an ideal solution to achieving this.
With our new StorE
steel and StorE art, we are again expanding our external hard disk drive family
with devices that appeal to our style conscious customers those who desire
high quality, ease of use and a personalised design, says Marco Perino, General
Manager EMEA PC options, Peripherals and Service Division, Toshiba Europe GmbH.
We strongly believe in consumer choice and so offer our StorE steel and StorE
art products in a range of sizes and capacities with a selection of designs to
choose from.
These new additions join the existing storage devices in
the StorE product range StorE SecuRed with a fingerprint reader to increase
security and the elegant StorE alu. All new products come with a high-speed USB
2.0 interface so they can be used as a multimedia drive, to store all file
types, including movies, pictures and music. In addition, Toshiba offers McAfee®
Internet Security for added protection.
StorE steel minimalist
design made from glossy steel
It is the minimalist and elegant
design that makes the StorE steel unique. The casing is made up of a glossy,
scratch and smudge resistant stainless steel design that is available in three
different metallic colours: titanium, silver and gold. Customers can choose
between a 1.8 and a 2.5 hard disk. The 1.8 version measures 10.3 cm x 6.3
cm x 1.4 cm and offers a storage capacity up to 160 GB. The 2.5 hard disk
drive can store up to 500 GB of digital content. Measuring 12.7 cm x 7.8 cm x
1.3 cm it is small enough to fit easily into a laptop carry case. Furthermore
the drives are very lightweight, despite their steel casing, and weigh only 120g
and 190g respectively. Above all there is no need for an external power supply
as StorE steel is powered via USB interface.
StorE art the art
of storage
Your storage device can be as personal as your digital
content with the new StorE art. The first devices will be available in glossy
black. More colourful designs will soon follow.
StorE art ideal for
customers looking for a robust, portable solution to back-up or store large
quantities of data.
The range comes in three sizes: a 1.8, 2.5 and
3.5 hard disk drive. The 1.8 and 2.5 hard disks weigh between 106g and
175g, making them ideal solutions for either using at home, in the office or
while on the move. Both are powered by USB, making them even more desirable to
carry round. Despite the small size of the hard disk drive, which isnt much
larger than a typical smartphone, the 1.8and 2.5 StorE art offer a storage
capacity between 120 GB and 500 GB.
For users with large amounts of
multimedia data, the high capacity version of StorE art, with its 3.5 hard
disk drive, provides between 500 GB to 1000 GB of storage. As a desktop
solution, this model required an external power supply.
