Panasonic Introduces New P2 Drive With an ExpressCard Interface
Panasonic today announced at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in Las Vegas the company's new AJ-PCD35, a five-slot P2 solid-state memory drive with an ExpressCard interface that will dramatically increase simultaneous access to P2 content on ExpressCard-equipped notebook or desktop computers. Until this announcement, P2 ExpressCard interface access was limited to a single card at a time using a third-party adaptor.
Offering the benefits of solid-state P2 technology, the AJ-PCD35 P2 memory card drive provides professionals with a faster, more convenient file transfer workflow with the latest generation of ExpressCard computers. The external P2 memory drive can transfer data from up to five P2 cards, making content immediately available to nonlinear editing systems and servers.
The AJ-PCD35 will be available later this year at a suggested list price of $2,200. Panasonic currently markets the AJ-PCD20, a five-slot P2 drive with USB 2.0/IEEE1394b interface, which is also available.
