Addonics Offers New Pair of iPod Accessories
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Addonics Technologies has announced a pair of accessories that allows
users to convert their Apple iPod into a Compact Flash-based player as
well as use the Toshiba 1.8-inch iPod hard drive with any computer.
The Addonics Toshiba 1.8"ZIF to 2.5" IDE hard drive connector converter
allows iPod owners to connect their iPod hard drive as a regular 2.5"
hard drive to other computers. With the choice of a ZIF or original
iPod connector, the company noted, a user who has a defective iPod can
also export data off the drive. It can also be connected to the
standard 40 pin IDE cable common found on any desktop computer, server,
and most industrial PCs by adding the Addonics 2.5" to 3.5" converter
kit.
With the new Addonics converter any Toshiba 1.8-inch hard drive can
also become a read only drive by using the standard IDE Write blocker,
which makes it an appropriate solution for forensics applications, the
company noted.
Addonics iPod accessories are compatible with any operating system that
supports IDE storage.
With the Addonics 1.8" ZIF - CF Adapter users can make their iPod more
shock resistant and achieve fast throughput by replacing the ZIF hard
drive inside their Apple iPod with the high speed Compact Flash media.
The adapter (ADZIFCF) supports several types of Compact Flash media
including PIO, DMA, UDMA4 for up to a 40MB/s transfer rate. In addition
to iPods, the adapter supports any laptop computer or portable device
that uses a 1.8-inch ZIF connector.
Addonics Technologies designs, manufactures, and markets a broad line
of external and mobile storage products.
