The size and weight of the 2.5”-format silver external hard drive from Verbatim are no different from that of a PDA or smartphone – and it fits equally comfortably in your hand. The portable hard drive weighs 157 g and measures 135 x 85 x 21 mm (L x W x H). The 640GB HDD is capable of storing up to 1280 videos, 160.000 songs or 290.000 photos*.

The external hard drive delivers transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbit/s (5,400 rpm) via the USB port, which also provides the power supply, eliminating the need for an additoinal power pack. For a complete solution the drive ships with “Nero BackItUp 4 Essentials” for secure and regular data backups.

“Verbatim’s pledge is to combine high storage capacities with a stylish appearance. With this new hard drive, we have succeeded in creating a lot of memory without having to compromise the slimline  and classy design ”, says Kai Miroschnik, Business Development Manager HDD Verbatim EUMEA.
