Products 2012

Times are changingWe live in a fast changing world. Almost every day new inventions and innovations are being spread upon us. Even in our world of data storage we are confronted with changes - in technology but also in the way people use storage.

Hard drives used to be linked only to computers, and an external hard drive was merely seen as a simple and effective way to add additional storage space. Lately we have seen external hard drives emerging in a totally new environment – the TV and settop box market.

Take a close look – you will see that almost every new TV has one or more USB ports. Not only for playing back content from an external hard drive or USB stick, but it is now also possible to record TV programmes via USB to an external hard drive.

With hard drive capacities becoming larger and larger, people are now able to record hundreds of hours of TV programmes onto one single hard drive. Surely you don’t want to place just any standard external hard drive next to your TV…. you want it to look good and complement the design of your TV and your interior. We have just the drive for that purpose – the uniquely designed Mobile Drive Sq!

All this and more exciting new innovations in this brochure. Enjoy reading!

Protect your external hard drive!

The Freecom Universal Hard Drive Sleeves protect your external hard drive from bumps, drops, scratches and damage. Made out of high quality material with soft padded inner lining, these stylish sleeves are a perfect accessory to any external hard drive.

Available in 2 models: one for 2.5“ mobile hard drives and one for 3.5“ desktop hard drives - the latter even fits most slimline netbooks and tablets. Including compartments for cables and power supply.

Still one of the most used media types

Nowadays, most computers and notebooks are shipped without a floppy drive. That’s where the Freecom USB Floppy Disk Drive comes in. Small files like drivers, software updates, patches for operating systems, anti-virus updates and boot-diskettes are still being shipped on floppy disks.

Also, a lot of people still have old text files, spreadsheets, pictures etc saved on floppy disks. So there will always come a time when you need a floppy drive for a software update, to access some of your old data, or you need a diskette to quickly save a small file on.

Removable Hdd backup System

The RDX removable system makes your data backup easier, faster, more reliable and more secure. It uses a rugged, removable disk cartridge and docking station that backs up just like a tape drive. Yet its speed makes it a smart replacement to tape storage.

Cartridge capacities range from 160GB to 1TB, making storage options extremely flexible. You will never run out of storage space, simply add more removable cartridges as your data needs expand.

Removable Hdd backup System

Tape is still the most used backup system in professional enterprise environments.

The Freecom LTO Tape Drives represent five-generations of LTO tape drive technology capable of storing up to 3TB per cartridge, with AES 256-bit hardware data encryption to protect the most sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access of tape cartridges, and at the same time at an unprecedented performance - our LTO-5 drives are capable of data transfer rates up to 280 MB/sec.

Removable backup system for small and medium sized businesses.

GlOBAl FOOTPRInT

With branch offices in EUMEA, APAC and AMERICAS, Freecom has a strong global presence.

The acquisition of Freecom by Mitsubishi Kagaku Media in 2009 has strengthened Freecom’s global footprint. We make use of a global distribution and logistics network as well as combining strengths in developing new and exciting products.

Being part of Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Group also means we follow and adhere to our mother company’s long term strategy and vision, summarized in the ‘Kaiteki’ principle.

‘Kaiteki’, which traditionally means ‘comfort’ or ‘ease’ in Japanese, represents the global quality of life that will be made possible through sustainable technologies and through breakthrough scientific advances in human healthcare.

OUTSTAndInGdESIGn

Since storage products are now a part of our everyday life, we believe that, next to obviously doing the job that they were created for, they should also look stunning, anywhere.

Freecom always teams up with up and coming industrial designers to create functional products that stand out from the crowd.

Some of the designers we work with include:

• Blitzen Berlin, Germany

• Sylvain Willenz Brussels, Belgium

• Arman Emami Berlin, Germany

• FlEX / the InnOVATIOnlAB® Delft, The Netherlands

• niels in Vorm & EigenId Rijswijk, The Netherlands

RESPOnSIBlEFREECOM

Freecom strongly believes it is our moral duty to execute our business with creating the least possible strain on our environment.

A few examples:• Use as many recycled raw materials

as possible

• We have invested R&D resources in perfecting the USB powering technology, which resulted in low power consumption products and eleminating the need to ship our mobile hard drives with external power supplies

• Our hard drives are shipped with the ‘Green Button’ application which controls the power consumption of your Freecom hard drive

• Limit the amount of printed user-manuals; these are pre-installed in digital format on the hard drive itself

• Reduce our packaging sizes as much as possible, thereby minimizing the amount of waste
