Sony Expands High Speed Storage Lineup with Enhanced Hard Disk Drives

(SINGAPORE, 2 June 2017) – Sony’s newest hard disk drives expand
its growing line of portable storage devices, delivering faster speeds, greater
connectivity, increased reliability and enhanced durability. The new 1TB and
2TB HDDs are designed for any professional use requiring memory card backup and
ingest in the field or office, including education, corporate, government,
broadcast and production applications.

Improving on Sony’s previous HDDs, the
new dual interface models support USB Type-A connectivity using a tethered
cable to ensure no cables are lost, in addition to a USB Type-C port, ideal for
memory card backup in the field.  The increasingly high speed drives are
pre-formatted in exFAT, and allow for data transfer up to 138MB/s
(read/write).

The rugged shuttle drives’ rubber damper
design offers increased durability, making it shock resistant and capable of
withstanding a drop of up to 6.5 feet.  The HDDs are splash resistant
(IPX4 rating) and dust resistant (IP5X rating).  The drives are specially
designed with a silicon lid protecting the connection terminals from dust and
water. The PSZ-HC1T and PSZ-HC2T come packaged in a sturdy library box for
additional protection during shipping or storage.

Sony’s
free Memory Media Utility software, available for download at www.sony.net/mmu,
offers additional protection by providing a record/rewrite life indicator,
simultaneous content backup to multiple destinations, a re-formatting tool and
more.

The
new HDDs, models PSZ-HC1T (1TB) and PSZ-HC2T (2TB) will be available at all
Sony authorised dealers from July 2017.
