Key Features

 

    Two Models
    Available in two models, PDX 200 and PDX 800, the 200 sports a high speed USB 2.0 port to allow for quick and easy connectivity, and the 800 is equipped with dual FireWire 800 ports, a FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 port for maximum compatibility and fastest transfer rates.

    Bus Powered
    The PDX is bus-powered. No external power supply is required, allowing a computer to power it without an external power source - just plug the drive into any available USB, FireWire 400/800 port and it's ready for use. Most FireWire and USB ports provide enough power to the PDX. If the port you are connecting to does not power, such as the Sony iLink (4pin FireWire), the PDX 800 includes a unique “Power Saver” USB power cable which allows 5VDC to be tapped from the USB port while maintaining the use of the USB port for other USB devices.

    Speed and Compatibility
    The PDX 800 uses the Oxford Semiconductor chipset.  Only the Oxford chipset assures unprecedented performance and compatibility across the wide variety of computer platforms and FireWire devices. At Avastor, only the Oxford Semiconductor chipset is used in every FireWire enclosure shipped.

    Low Operating Temperature
    The durable aluminum case and grill provide an innovative airflow technology that keeps the operating temperature low, and your data safe and secure from potential heat damage.

    Carry Case
    Users can be assured that their data will be protected with a shock resistant carry case, which helps to reduce the effect of impact. Transporting your data has never been so easy. The carry case also includes space to store cables and paperwork.

    Full Complement of Cables
    High-quality data cables are included for each port type, allowing the drives to be easily connected straight out of the box. The PDX 800 comes with a unique “Power Saver” cable allowing you to power the PDX via USB while maintaining the use of the USB port for other USB devices.

    Three-Year Warranty
    Every PDX hard disk drive is backed by a comprehensive limited three-year warranty. 

    The PDX carry case provides protection for your drive and storage for cables.
