Kingston’s got it cracked for iPad expansion K


ingston’s revolutionary Wi-Drive is the ideal way to add Flash-based storage for Apple iPads – and for the iPhone and iPod Touch too. Users can share their data, photos, videos, music, whatever, with up to three Apple devices, and stream media


to get around the storage limitations of any particular device. With integrated Wi-Fi and four hours of battery life, the Wi-Drive is a highly portable (it slots into a pocket) and convenient storage. Apple users just love it, so don’t miss out. Take advantage of our superior stock holding and get some on the shelves, in your showroom, onto your website. Remember, Computer 2000 PC Components are the number-one for all your Kingston memory and accessories needs – so you know who to call for the Wi-Drive or all things Kingston.

Drive market set for steady return to stability


T


here is some stability returning to the drive market, although it won’t be back to normality for some time yet. WD recently advised us that it expects to be back in full production in September – the previous estimate


had been December. While that is good news, we are still going to see some fluctuations in supply and capacities until the end of the summer it seems. Right now, lower capacity drives that only need a single disk platter are easier to obtain, so 250GB/500GB is the most commonly available spec. Even when we return to normal production, prices may stay a little higher as manufacturers are re- locating some fabs so that they are less vulnerable to one region being hit hard by a natural disaster again in the future. If you want to get a full update, drop us a line at pccomponents@computer2000.co.uk.
