Protape Introduce Avastor SDX Drives In The UK

Protape, the Soho-based data storage specialists and exclusive UK distributors for the Avastor range of hard drives, have announced the arrival in stock of Avastor's new range of SDX hard drives.
Aimed at photographers, audio and video production professionals, and anyone for whom reliable data storage is an essential business pre-requisite, the SDX range offers the rugged reliability of Avastor's existing HDX range of drives, and is built around the same high-quality Oxford Semiconductor chipset, but retails at a more affordable price point.
There are three models in the SDX range, all based around 7200rpm drives: the USB 2-only SDX 200, the SDX 400, which operates over USB 2 of Firewire 400, and the top-of-the-range SDX 1000, which offers USB 2, Firewire 400 and 800 and eSATA connection. 160GB, 250GB, 500GB, 750GB and 1TB versions of each model are available with UK prices ranging from around £80 for the 160GB SDX 200 to around £220 for the 1TB SDX1000. Each SDX drive comes with a switched-mode power supply for international compatibility, built-in quiet fans and a two-year warranty and is supplied with high-quality cables for its connection types.
Bob Matthews, Managing Director of Protape, comments: "Avastor have proved themselves to be a high-quality, in-demand brand amongst video and audio professionals with their HDX range of drives. The SDX range offers the same kind of quality at a more affordable price, which will make it even more attractive to those markets, as well as appealing to professional photographers who need reliable storage and backup for their digital images."
