WD Intros My Passport AV for Video
Posted in: external hard drive, hard drive, storage, Today's Chili, video
WD has extended its My Passport line of portable external hard drives once again — this time with the My Passport AV. The difference here is that the AV is meant specifically for video storage and playback. So how can a hard drive be optimized for video?
For one, it works with the Direct Copy feature in Sony’s new Handycam video recorders. That means Handycam owners can load and archive HD video to the My Passport AV without a computer.
Owners can also play back stored videos on Sony’s latest Blu-ray players or any WD TV media players just by connecting the My Passport AV to the USB drive. WD also says the drive will stay cool in a hot entertainment center and is designed to use less power.
The product page offers a full list of compatible devices. If that sounds worthwhile to you, the My Passport AV is available in one configuration, 320GB, for a list price of $109.99.
