Azio Enclosure Aims At Macs

What's unique about the Azio hard-disk enclosure is that it's designed to look like a Mac peripheral; it has a brushed aluminum finish with the choice of a black or white acrylic top. The enclosure blends well with Mac desktops, notebooks and peripherals. The sleek case measures 5 x 1.5 x 8.25 inches. It features a tiny ultraquiet ball-bearing cooling fan and a Kensington lock slot for security purposes.

Mac users are big consumers of external hard drives and storage in general. Solution providers that support large groups of Mac users will be able to sell dozens of these external hard drives, not only because of their appearance but also because solution providers can offer customers the lowest prices by configuring these peripherals themselves.

With its USB 2.0 interface, the Azio hard-drive enclosure will also work with PCs. The artfully designed Azio enclosure kit lets Mac and PC users add any amount of storage to their system in a plug-and-play manner without having to open their computer case.

Fully assembled Azio drives are compatible with Mac OS 9.0+ and Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 and XP. Drivers are provided for Windows 98SE; the other OSes don't need drivers.

Azio's hard-drive enclosure kit includes the housing, an external AC-to-DC power adapter, a 5-foot USB 2.0 cable, all necessary hardware and a user's guide.
