Trekstor Unveils 1 TB External Hard Drive

Storage and audio gear maker Trekstor understands that digital media fans need lots of space to store their music, movies, and pictures—and backups—but that moving that kind of data place to place via broadband or even a home network isn’t always the most practical thing. To that end, the company has introduced its DataStation duo w.u external hard drive, offering 1 TB of storage and USB 2.0 connectivity.

The DataStation duo w.u sports a black aluminum and plastic casing, USB 2.0 connectivity, and an external 100V/240V power supply, which adds some additional bulk to the 4.8 pound unit, but helps keep the unit noiseless (and fan-free). The outside of the case sports a push-for-backup button, and the drives ship with Nero BackItUp 2 Essentials so owners won’t have any excuse for not backing up their crucial data and media. (Right?) The DataStation duo w.u achieves its 1 TB capacity by stacking two 500 GB drives and managing them as a single volume; the 7,200 rpm, 3.5-inch drives support 24.5 MB/s reads and 16 MB/s writes.

Trekstor says the drives are available now, and carry a list price of $430.
