Monster Digital has launched its first line of external Solid State Drives (SSD) called the Overdrive 3.0.
The Overdrive 3.0 units, which will work with many machines out there, seemed aimed at MacBook Air and Ultrabook users who want a small professional package which makes it is fast and easy to add storage to their computer.
The small, lightweight laser etched stainless steel enclosure is about the size of iPhone 4. Wrapped around each drive is an integrated USB 3.0 “Super-Speed” cable – So you never need to go looking for a cable when you need to use the drive. The drive works with USB 2.0 too.
The Overdrive 3.0 does not require an external power supply. The USB drive is rated at 250/150MB/s read/write speeds – 4x as fast as a traditional external hard drive. Plus the Overdrive 3.0’s includes a built in blue LED data transfer indicator and soft travel pouch.
“These products are already in-use with photographers, recording engineers and musicians and are Monster Digital’s answer to the need for reliability, speed, and convenience for the professional,”” says Monster Digital CEO Jay Tandon.
Configured to work with either PC or Mac, the drives are ready to go to work straight out of the box. All Overdrive 3.0’s include a 3-year warranty
The Overdrive 3.0 line of high-speed, solid state drive are available in four storage capacities of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB for the suggested retail prices of $179.99, $299.99, $599.99, $1399.99 respectively.
