Nixvue Systems Pte. Ltd. of Singapore has today announced a new addition to its lineup of Digital Album products, portable storage devices that let you offload your flash memory onto a hard-disk when you're away from home.
Available only from the digital-gear.com website, the Nixvue Digital Album Lite lets users "roll" their own storage device that meets their particular needs. The device is sold with no hard-disk built in, allowing you to select your own 2.5" hard drive - and choose what you want in terms of capacity, speed, power consumption and cost.
Nixvue says that installation requires only a screwdriver and pair of scissors, and notes that a simple press of a button will format and partition your new hard drive for you. As with other Nixvue Digital Albums, the DA Lite HDO (Hard Disk Option) has an LCD display through which you control the unit, a Type-II CompactFlash slot, USB 2.0 connectivity and a connection for an external power supply.
The Nixvue Digital Album Lite HDO costs $199, and optional accessories include a $34.95 12-volt car adapter, $59.95 8-cell battery pack, and $49.95 external 1400mAh Lithium Ion battery.
