IO Data will begin sales of a 1.6TB external HDD, the "HDZ-UE1.6TS", from late December.

The "HDZ-UE1.6TS" will be made to order at a price of 294,000 yen. Supported operating systems are Windows Me, 2000 and XP. The drive contains four 400GB Maxtor HDDs which are recognised as a single drive. Support interfaces are USB2.0 and IEEE1394.

The drive's power on/off can be connected to a PC's power supply for linked operation. The drive casing uses aluminium panels and a cooling fan is also installed.

The drive has dimensions of W136 x D266 x H131 mm and weighs approximately 4.4 kilograms. A USB cable (1m) and IEEE1394 cable (1m) are included.
