A US-based startup called Fasetto showed off Link - an ultraportable SSD external drive that’s small enough to fit into a jeans pocket at CES this year. The Link which is available in three sizes - 256GB, 512GB, and 2TB - uses Wi-Fi to wirelessly connect with smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other supported gadgets.
Measuring 2 inch x 2 inch, and weighing a little over 100 grams, the device is MIL-STD 810G certified for ruggedness and an IP68 certified for water resistance. The Link comes along with a software that lets you access your files and seamlessly backs up content from your devices. It also allows you to grant permission for guests to view specific content.
It can connect up to 30 devices at once, a whopping 15 devices can stream content together, using dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi. The internal battery can power the device for up to 5 hours of streaming on connected devices. Using a magnetically attachable external battery, it can go on for up to 8 hours. This battery is available separately. It supports quick charging through the USB Type-C port at the back but is said to charge up the 1300mAh battery in about 75 minutes (which isn't actually fast considering smartphones with far bigger batteries charge in about the same time). Speaking of other accessories, there's also one that makes the Link connect to 4G networks.
The Link starts at $349 (roughly Rs. 23,700) for the 256GB version, $499 (roughly Rs. 34,000) for the 512GB one, and a pricey $1,149 (roughly Rs. 78,000) for the 2TB version. It’s available for preorder on Fasetto’s website and the shipping date is estimated to be April 2017.
