Apollo EHDD portfolio Expanded By Imation

Imation Corp has expanded its Apollo family of external hard disk drives (EHDD) lineup. The updated Apollo line delivers solutions ranging from personal to professional use, updated designs and next-generation software that simplifies, automates and personalises backup for up to two terabytes (TB) of data. The company's Apollo Expert D300 offers USB 3.0 technology to move data up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0-based drives. 


According to says Jason Elles, global brand leader for Imation - 
The explosion of large multimedia files, such as high-resolution photos and video, and the fact that even small businesses can be data-intensive, means households and businesses need to capture and save more digital information than ever. Whether they're seeking exceptional value or high speeds, using a drive personally or professionally, or backing up their desktop or managing data on the go, there's an Apollo external hard drive to utilize. 


The new Apollo family begins with the Apollo Expert D300 External Hard Drive. The drive is available in 500-GB, 1-TB and 2-TB capacities. The drive features a brushed silver industrial design and removable stand to orient it horizontally or vertically.
