SmartDisk’s "drive for perfec-
tion" is built into our new line
of FireLite

™

portable external

hard drives. Palm-sized, durable
and stylish with outstanding perform-
ance, FireLite drives offer a unique combi-
nation of features we call "FLARE

™

" technolo-

gy. FLARE means FireLite offers you the ultimate
in a convenient, highly portable data storage solu-
tion. FireLite combines all of the best features of
today’s hard drive designs in one attractive pack-
age. Quite simply, FireLite gives you quality with-
out compromise.

Don’t settle for a portable hard drive that’s bulky,
slow, constructed of inexpensive plastics, noisy or
cumbersome to transport. FireLite FireWire drives
with FLARE technology give  you a sleek, compact,
attractive drive case wrapped around top-quality
design concepts, materials and engineering. These
are the elements of the FLARE technology that’s
built into every SmartDisk FireLite FireWire drive:

• 

Optimum performance "engine."

FireLite 

FireWire drives feature a unique combination 
of software and hardware to help you get the 
best possible performance. When a typical 
FireWire hard disk receives a read or write 
request for an odd-sized piece of data, it stores 
the data to a buffer and performs complicated 
operations to resize it. FireLite FireWire drives 

eliminate this process by ensuring that all data 
is correctly sized and aligned – before the data 
is sent to the drive. By eliminating the need to 
send data to a buffer, FireLite FireWire drives 
allow for a shorter, optimized data pipeline 
that won’t clog up even under the heaviest use.

• 

Unique alloy housing.

FireLite’s diminutive size

and weight are made possible through the use 
of magnesium alloy for the drive’s housing – 
by weight, one of the strongest materials on the 
planet. Its thermal dissipation properties also 
help to wick away heat, increasing performance
and drive longevity.
