Because the Wi-Drive is Flash-based, you don't have to worry about it being damaged from crashed storage platters. Best of all, faster read speeds mean it's even possible to share with up to three different iDevices simultaneously via a WiFi connection without putting stress on the drive. You don't have to have a wireless network to use it either, because unlike most network-attached storage devices, this one creates its own secure network. If you need to stay connected to your existing network, however, it will also securely connect to that as well.
"Wi-Drive allows Apple device owners to wirelessly manage
document and media files, and
choose to share them with
others, while on the go for work or pleasure," said Andrew Ewing,
Flash memory business manager of Kingston.
The Wi-Drive features a MiniUSB port that allows you to upload files to it quickly from a PC or Mac without the need for extra drivers, specialized software, or any type of bloatware. Simply drag and drop and your Wi-Drive will make the files available wirelessly, all the while charging itself to go mobile for up to four continuous hours of use. Organizing the drive is easy, and you can even organize your files on the Wi-Drive into easy-to-understand folder hierarchies to make finding your files quick and easy.
"Wi-Drive allows Apple device owners to wirelessly manage document and media files, and choose to share them with others, while on the go for work or pleasure," said Andrew Ewing, Flash memory business manager of Kingston. "This unique functionality, combined with the durability of a Flash-based device, will satisfy both casual users and the most discerning technophiles."
The Wi-Drive is available in 16 GB and 32 GB capacities for an estimated MSRP of $129.99 and $174.99, respectively. Once you get your Wi-Drive, simply download the universal app for your particular device, connect quickly to your Wi-Drive via 802.11g/n wireless, and start browsing the file system and using whatever supported files you've put on the drive. It is that easy, and you'll be happy when your storage woe can finally become a storage "whoa."
