EZQuest has introduced a new line of
FireWire 400 hard drives that are optimized for digital audio. EZQuest Pro Audio drives
are pre-formatted for Macintosh systems. With a data transfer rate of 400MB/sec, a
rotational speed of 7200 RPM and a larger 8MB buffer, these drives are ideal for video,
audio, backups and transferring large amounts of data. The drives come in 160GB,
250GB and 750GB versions.
ìOur FireWire 400 hard drives are the only ones that have been qualified by Digidesign
on their Pro Tools HD system. This is one reason the audio community has embraced
our drives,î said Ebrahim Zmehrir, EZQuest president. ìBecause our drives have been
so well accepted by this group, we decided to develop our Pro Audio line just for them.î
EZQuest Pro Audio drives are compatible with Mac OS 8.6+ and OSX, and Win 98SE,
Win 2000, Win ME and Win XP. They have both a FireWire 400 and a USB 2.0
interface. The drives come ready to use with a durable shielded steel casing, an internal
power supply, software, a carrying case and a cable. The software includes Hard Disk
Speedtools for Macs, and Dantz Retrospect Backup for Macs and PCs. The Cobra+ Pro
Audio Drives are available now. The MSRPs are: $169 for 160GB capacity; $199 for
250GB capacity; and $629 for 750GB capacity.
In the U.S., the Pro Audio drives are available only through Maxx Audio at
www.maxxdigital.com/quest.htm
only. In Europe the drives are available from
authorized EZQuest dealers. Spec sheets and a list of European dealers are available
