Samsung is going to launch in November the new STORY Station 3.5-inch external hard drive, which is the industry’s first to have standby power consumption below a watt, meeting the requirements for the forthcoming European Union’s EuP (Energy Using Products) Directive for Standby Regulation, effective January 2010.
The STORY Station uses just 0.09W at standby. It will be available in capacities ranging from 500GB to 2TB. The drive includes Samsung Auto Backup for ongoing data preservation, SecretZone software for personal data encryption and SafetyKey for password protection.
