Samsung STORY Station External Hard Drive [1.5 Terabyte 3.5" Backup HDD]

Samsung have released details concerning their new, curiously entitled Samsung STORY Station external hard drive which boasts 1.5 terabytes of storage capacity as well as aesthetics described by Samsung as offering ‘passionate red lines against a high-tech “brushed” aluminum surface with red cable ports’ (Some PR bod at Samsung obviously took their full compliment of vitamins prior to coming up with that, didn’t they?)

Billed as being ideal for large volume data back up (talk about stating the obvious) the Samsung STORY Station external hard drive comes with enhanced security software such as Samsung’s SafetyKey (offering password protection) and Samsung’s SecretZone which ‘creates a virtual drive which provides encryption for data security’ as well as Auto Backup software which offers real-time or scheduled backup facilities.

Interestingly, or not, depending on your viewpoint, Samsung also make mention of the STORY Station HDD’s eco credentials with the drive purportedly being manufactured from (unspecified) environmentally-friendly materials that comply with international environmental standards such as RoHS as well as the drive’s ‘green operation’ which loosely translates into the drive coming with an auto-standby mode that kicks in after five minutes of inactivity.

The 1.5 terabyte Samsung STORY Station external hard drive has a European scheduled date of release for May but, as at the time of writing, Samsung are yet to provide pricing details.
