Transcend is gearing up to introduce its new shock-resistant high capacity portable hard drive – the StoreJet 25 mobile – in India. The StoreJet 25 mobile weighs 206g and has dimensions of 134 x 80.8 x 18.8 mm. Inside its rugged shockproof silicone case is a high-capacity hard drive that lets you back up and store up to 250GB of data.

To protect against data loss or damage from accidental falls, the StoreJet 25 mobile meets US military standards (MIL-STD-810F – Transit Drop) with advanced two-stage anti-shock technology. To ensure maximum compatibility with desktop and notebook computers, it uses a high-speed USB 2.0 interface that provides data transfer rates up to 480Mbps, while offering the convenience of plug and play.

The StoreJet 25 mobile also comes with a 'OneTouch' auto-backup button and bundled StoreJet elite software that allows intelligent backup scheduling, security, and file compression. It supports all commonly used operating systems, such as Windows 2000/XP/Vista, Mac OS 9.0 or later, and Linux Kernel 2.4.2 or later.

The device will be available in 160GB and 250GB capacities, and come with a two-year warranty. The price hasn't been announced yet, but stay tuned.
