NEXTO DI NPS-10 Compact Portable Backup Storage Announced

NEXTO DI NPS-10

TVLogic’s NEXTO DI line of backup storage devices just got a new addition. At NAB, the company will present the NPS-10 (Nexto Photo Storage). It is the smallest device within the NEXTO DI line and features built-in memory card slots and a USB port for fast copying of files, directly to the internal storage.

The USB port is the new USB Type-C port (USB 3.1, Gen 2, 10Gbps). Thanks to the patented “X-Copy” technology, the NPS-10 provides a very fast backup speed of up to 350MB/s, which is quite impressive, given the compact size and lightweight design.

There will be three versions of the NEXTO DI NPS-10, depending on the memory card slot of choice:

XQD and CFexpress

CFast

All versions will also have two SD (UHS-II) card slots and one MicroSD card slot.

The built-in battery will last for two hours while doing backup operations (with SSD) and the NPS-10 can even be charged via smartphone or power bank. It can accommodate any 2.5″ 2TB SSD or HDD (up to 7.2mm thick) and TVLogic leaves the choice of drive up to its customers, as the device comes without one.

The NPS-10 only weighs 200g (0.44 lbs), without a drive. Its body is durable and comes with a rubber jacket to further protect the data within. The 2.4″ color LCD display can be used to control and monitor the device.
