ADATA has this week added a new addition to their range of mobile peripherals, in the form of the newly launched ADATA DashDrive Air AE400.
The new ADATA DashDrive has been designed to provide mobile device users with an easy way to access external storage, which can be connected to the Air AE400 via its USB port, and SD card slot. This versatile device not only expands your storage options but also enhances your mobile experience by offering a range of additional features.
Wireless Hotspot Capabilities
The ADATA DashDrive Air AE400 acts as a wireless hotspot, with support for 802.11 b/g/n wireless networking, and will allow up to 10 separate mobile devices to connect to it at the same time, as a bridge. This feature is particularly useful for group settings, such as meetings, classrooms, or family gatherings, where multiple users need to access the internet or share files simultaneously.
Whilst streaming content via the Air AE400, the device will allow 3 users to simultaneously stream 1080p video, or up to 5 users to simultaneously stream 720p media. This makes it an excellent choice for media sharing and streaming on the go, ensuring that everyone can enjoy high-quality content without interruption.
Compatibility and Companion Application
The ADATA DashDrive Air AE400 supports all major operating systems including iOS, Android, Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8), OS X, and Linux 2.4+. This broad compatibility ensures that no matter what device you or your friends are using, the DashDrive Air AE400 will seamlessly integrate into your digital ecosystem.
Additionally, the device comes with its own companion application for iOS 5.0 & Android 2.3 and above. This app enhances the user experience by providing an intuitive interface for managing files, streaming media, and configuring the device settings. The app also supports firmware updates, ensuring that your DashDrive Air AE400 remains up-to-date with the latest features and improvements.
Additional Features and Benefits
Beyond its primary functions, the ADATA DashDrive Air AE400 also offers a range of additional features that enhance its utility. For instance, the device can serve as a power bank, allowing you to charge your mobile devices on the go. This is particularly useful for travelers or anyone who spends a lot of time away from power outlets.
The device’s compact and lightweight design makes it highly portable, fitting easily into a bag or even a pocket. Despite its small size, it boasts a robust build quality, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of daily use.
Moreover, the DashDrive Air AE400’s ability to read both USB drives and SD cards means that you can easily transfer files between different types of storage media. This flexibility is invaluable for photographers, videographers, and anyone who needs to manage large files across multiple devices.
The ADATA DashDrive Air AE400 is expected to start shipping very soon and will be available to purchase for $70. Given its wide range of features and affordable price point, it is poised to be a popular choice among tech enthusiasts and casual users alike.
