IOMEGA 120GB DRIVE

Iomega Intros REV 120GB Backup Drive

Iomega has expanded its REV backup drive line with the announcement of the REV 120GB. This third-gen drive doubles the capacity of its predecessor, the REV 70GB. Targeting small-business users, the REV line is considered as an alternative to tape due to its removable discs. REV features speed up to five times as fast, 20 percent more native capacity, a much longer shelf life, and lower productions costs than tape. The 120GB is backward compatible with older models. "Compared to entry-level tape products like LTO-1 and DAT160 format tape drives, the new REV 120GB Backup Drive offers more native capacity, near instantaneous random access to files, faster backups and restores, and ruggedized cartridges - all at a much better drive price," the company's COO, Tom Kampfer said in a release issued this morning. "In addition, REV drives offer today's multimedia enthusiast a limitless storage solution for libraries of content with each 120GB REV disk holding approximately 48,000 photos, 2000 hours of music or 12 hours of high-definition video."
Iomega REV 120GB Backup Drive is gearing up for a worldwide release in April, but the pricing is not yet known.
