Rocport SB Pocket Drives feature the state of the art DuoLink connector – both USB and SATA in the same port;
with two additional FireWire 800 (1394b IEEE) ports, makes
this quad interface device the most versatile and rugged
drive in the market today. For extra flexibility, an optional

the drive against impact damage, accidental drops and bumps.
These outstanding design features prolong product life
and protect data integrity.
Despite the diminutive size
(L x W x H: 5.1 x 3.1 x 0.8 Inches or 129.5 x 80 x
