Toshiba adds elegant StorE Steel to its external hard disk drive family

Toshiba Europe expands its external hard disk drive family with the addition of two new devices that have a strong focus on design. StorE steel has a minimalist and elegant design that comes in three glossy metallic colours.

“With our new StorE steel, we are again expanding our external hard disk drive family with devices that appeal to our style conscious customers – those who desire high quality, ease of use and a personalised design,” says Marco Perino, General Manager EMEA PC options, Peripherals and Service Division, Toshiba Europe GmbH. “We strongly believe in consumer choice and so offer our StorE steel products in a range of sizes and capacities with a selection of designs to choose from.

StorE steel – minimalist design made from glossy steel

It is the minimalist and elegant design that makes the StorE steel unique. The casing is made up of a glossy, scratch and smudge resistant stainless steel design that is available in three different metallic colours: titanium, silver and gold. Customers can choose between a 1.8’’ and a 2.5’’ hard disk. The 1.8’’ version measures 10.3 cm x 6.3 cm x 1.4 cm and offers a storage capacity up to 160 GB. The 2.5’’ hard disk drive can store up to 500 GB of digital content. Measuring 12.7 cm x 7.8 cm x 1.3 cm it is small enough to fit easily into a laptop carry case. Furthermore the drives are very lightweight, despite their steel casing, and weigh only 120g and 190g respectively. Above all there is no need for an external power supply as StorE steel is powered via USB interface.
