FAST USB 2.0 Ultra Portable EXTERNAL DISK

Massive 500GB Capacity

Self-powered from USB Port

This pocketable disk drive enables you to carry around massive capacity in a small self-powered unit.

500GB Capacity

26MB/s -30MB/s transfer speeds

Feature Summary:

  • Classy solid aluminium body
  • Only 13mm (0.5") thick
  • Latest high capacity 2.5" SATA disk drive
  • Self powered from USB2 port
  • Fast, Cool & Quiet
  • High quality travel wallet

This Fantec Fanbox ultra portable disk drive is self powered from a single USB2 port.  In the rare occasion where your USB2 port does not supply enough power you can draw extra power from a second USB2 port, using the special dual-head USB2 lead provided.

The enclosure is made of solid aluminium, enabling heat to be dissipated from the disk so you can use it for extended periods without any danger of overheating.

As well as running cool, the disk is practically silent both when idle and when in operation.

Prior to shipping we fully format the disk (as a single NTFS partition) guaranteeing that you can plug in the disk and use it within seconds.

If you want the disk partitioned in other formats, such as for Apple Mac, then let us know, and we will do it free of charge prior to shipment.

The postage charge for Royal Mail Special Delivery provides next business day UK delivery and full insurance. You will need to be present to receive the mail.  Just look at our feedback to see how quickly our customers receive their products!
