Apple recently overhauled its MacBook Air range. All the new models in its ultrathin notebook range only feature solid-state storage, providing them with obvious speed advantages over previous models, but severely restricting their built-in storage capacity – 13.3-incher with 256GB storage (maximum) costs $1600.
Even though many votaries of the cult of Apple might even find the Air’s storage plenteous, but a media junkie will not have any trouble expending the built-in Flash storage. Of course, you can always opt for a portable HDD.
But not any ordinary external drive. Hitachi is hoping that MacBook Air and Pro owners will opt for its new G-Technology G-Drive, the thinnest 2.5-inch external hard drive in the world. Formatted for plug-n-play compatibility with Macs, the G-Drive features the rugged Hitachi Travelstar Z5K320 drive inside.
The 320GB USB-powered drive has a MSRP of $99.99 and is available online and at Apple Retail Stores.
