What Is FLARE?
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.
