Iomega REV Range Boosted By New High Capacity REV 120GB Backup Drive

Iomega has announced that their range of REV backup drives is to be supplemented by a new, high capacity REV 120GB capacity model boasting transfer rates of up to 30MB per second based on new 120GB disks offering an estimated one million rewrite capabilities.

According to Tom Kampfer, President and CEO of Iomega, the new REV 120GB Backup Drive offers ‘more native capacity, near instantaneous random access to files, faster backups and restores, and ruggedized cartridges — all at a much better drive price. In addition, REV drives offer today’s multimedia enthusiast a limitless storage solution for libraries of content with each 120GB REV disk holding approximately 48,000 photos, 2,000 hours of music or 12 hours of high-definition video.’

Apparently due to be released worldwide in April, pricing details regarding Iomega’s new high capacity REV 120GB Backup Drive is yet to be made public though we cannot help but think that, with the major increase in HDD capacities we’ve seen of late, Iomega need to price this unit extremely competitively in order to wow consumers.
