Sanho's Second Generation HyperDrive Adds 1TB of Pricey Storage to iPad
Sanho just introduced its second run of HyperDrive hard drives for the iPad, this time upping the storage ante to 1TB. The HyperDrives hook up to any iPad using the Apple Camera Connection Kit and then acts just like any normal USB hard drive would.
"HyperDrive iPad Hard Drive lets you carry your entire HD movie and photo library with your iPad," says Daniel Chin, President of Sanho Corporation. "HyerDrive is as compact as your portable USB hard drive and yet at capacities up to 1TB, can hold more data than your laptop. "The iPad is the perfect media player but its capacities are limited and it requires a computer and iTunes to transfer media to the iPad, HyerDrive releases the iPad from this restriction and truly turns it into a media consuming device."
The HyperDrive line isn't cheap, however. You'll have to fork over $400 for the 1TB model. Other capacities include 320GB ($200), 500GB ($250), 640GB ($300), and 750GB ($350). Sanho also sells just the case alone for $100.

Does the Hyperdrive get it's power from the Ipad or does it have it's own battery? What's the battery life of an Ipad with one of these drives hooked up to it or if the drive has a separate battery, what kind of battery life can you get from the hyperdrive? What would really be awesome for the Ipad user is to have a leather cover for the Ipad that sheathes the Ipad while allowing the front of the Ipad to be fully open and usable with a pouch in the back for the hyperdrive. There has to be some way of attaching the hyperdrive to the back of the Ipad without making it look tacky.
