What does UltiFire Series I, W, M and Mini Mean?
While Synchrotech utilizes its own external case and IEEE 1394 to EIDE bridge boards in the UltiFire line, ultimately the hard drive mechanisms themselves are from top hard drive manufacturers. Synchrotech believes it is important to disclose the vendor for the ATA hard drive mechanisms used in its UltiFire line. This has several advantages, first of which is that it allows the customer to choose the right drive based on their needs and preferences. Futhermore, it allows Synchrotech to accurately list a drive’s full capabilities on each product page. The letters simply stand for the vendor that makes the internal drive mechanism. I for IBM, M for Maxtor, W for Western Digital. We also indicate the actual model used and separate the specifications when the models differ. The regular series line are based on desktop 3.5″ drives, while the Mini line is based on notebook 2.5″ devices. The Mini series is more portable, and will run as a bus powered device when the host provides it.
