The DataPort 25 Enhanced Carrier is designed to provide users the ultimate
in data access flexibility. The DataPort 25 Enhanced Carrier is available in
either USB (DataPort 25u) or USB and FireWire (DataPort 25c). The DataPort
25 Enhanced Carrier is intended to be used as a portable stand-alone external
hard drive enclosure. It can also be inserted into the DataPort 25 frame where it
operates at full IDE transfer rates (up to 133 mb/s). If your system provides stan-
dard USB or FireWire bus power the power supply is not required, freeing users
from the tether of a power cord and providing access to your data anywhere.
