Description The Hitachi Life Studio   ****  BRAND NEW, Sealed, Never Been Opened  **** For All Of Your Computer Needs! --   We Sale All Brands name, Highest Quality, Lowest Prices, (See my feedback we have a lots of satisfied customers)! The Hitachi Life Studio is supposed to be the next generation of portable drives. Aside from the odd addition of a magnetic flash drive to the front of the case, this clever little drive includes media management software from Cooliris that essentially offers an “easier” way of browsing all the media on your computer. The drive also includes Hitachi’s own back-up software, although you can simply format the drive and turn it into a Time Machine back-up volume.   The software does two things specific to your life: it finds all of the images on your hard drive(s) and shows them to you using an odd special interface and it shows you all of your Facebook photos in one place. That’s basically it. The rest of the features are actually links out to web-based media services. It has some wonky music service feature as well as a direct line to Hulu. That’s right: Hitachi is basically flogging Hulu to “household memory managers” or whatever they’re calling soccer moms who are nominally in charge of going through all of the digital pictures of junior covered in chocolate pudding these days.   Generally, Life Studio is some sort of strange amalgam of media viewer and web services wrapper that is useful for only the most hopelessly bored Internet user. Considering the only time you would ever interact with the Life Studio software is after going through a bit of rigmarole to install it, I suspect it will reside, quietly, on thousands of hard drives, unused. Rediscover your life's greatest moments with Lifestudio Mobile. It seamlessly pulls your photos, movies, music, and documents together into one stunning 3D interface so they're automatically organized and easier to access, view, and post to Facebook, Flickr Picasa.   Capacity   500GB Portable/Desktop   Portable System Requirements   Win XP, Vista 7, Mac OS X Device Connector Type   USB 2.0 up to 480mb/sec Max Data Transfer Rate   USB 2.0 up to 480mb/sec Dimensions   5.29x3.32x2.74 Warranty   1 year Software   Life Studio & Hitachi Backup Buffer Size   16 MB Rotation Speed   5400 rpm
