Imation Corp. introduces a new line of external hard disk drives in the Americas. Building on Imation's expertise in data storage, the family includes portable hard drives designed for both discerning mobile and desktop users featuring sleek designs combined with the industry's latest technology and highest capacities. The sleek, compact and USB-powered Apollo Portable Hard Drive is lightweight, stylish and extremely durable featuring a midnight black-brushed surface with chrome detailing.

    The line kicks off with the ultra-slim Imation Apollo Portable Hard Drive, a 2.5-inch hard drive for mobile users. A 3.5-inch portable hard drive for desktop users, the Imation Apollo Pro, will be available later this year. At just over half an inch wide, and weighing only 0.35 pounds, the ultra-slim yet durable design easily fits in the palm of your hand for convenience on the go. It offers up to 320GB of capacity for storage and back up of data, presentations, photos, and videos. A 500GB capacity version will be available later this summer.

The Apollo Portable Hard Drive is ideal for the tech-savvy mobile professional, delivering the highest leading capacity and technology for on-the-go storage of important files," stated said Keith Schwartz, director, North America Commercial Division of Imation Corp.

    Designed for use with both PC and Mac systems, desktops and laptops, the drive offers backup, schedule, synchronize and restore functions with just a quick click of the mouse and is preconfigured to backup all types of digital files. For added convenience when traveling, the drive is USB 2.0 powered; neither batteries nor an external power supply are required. A blue LED light indicates when data transfer is in process to indicate when backups are complete.
