MiniBank MT-II features a FireWire 400 Mb/sec port as well as a USB 2.0 480 Mb/sec port. FireWire has an edge over USB 2.0 in terms of transfer speed, but USB 2.0’s major advantage lies in its backward compatibility with existing USB 1.1 host cards, which you will find on virtually any recent computer. A handy feature when travelling between locations.
FireWire is natively supported by Mac OS 9 and X, Win98SE and higher. USB 2.0 is natively supported by Windows XP

 

 

When designing MiniBank MT-II, Miglia did not choose the easy and low-quality route of plastics. The case is made out of 1.8mm thick aluminium and the 5 mm front plate is machine-milled out of a solid bloc of aluminium. Metal confers better protection and much greater lifespan than plastic.


The cost of using metal instead of plastic might not be the same, but how much is the data contained on your drive really worth?

 

MediaBank MT & MediaBank MT-R

MediaBank MT & MT-R are high quality external hard drive cases that feature one or two ATA/FireWire converters. Both units allow you to install one or two 3.5’’ ATA hard drives for a high storage capacity, ideal for backups or video capture.
