Umazone UMA-ISO involuntarily accumulates your DVD images

The Japanese company Umazone has come up with its most recent and trendy hard-drive the Umazone UMA-ISO. It is a drive enclosure which looks like a standard 2.5-inch HDD drive and supports FAT32 file system. It mounts ISO files and gives user’s straight access to the ISO. It has a slot in which to place in the hard-drive 2.5-inch format, which provides the carrier of information and images.

It comprises with an OLED display to show you which ISO is preferred and a jog dial for you to flip through CD and DVD ISO images stored on the drive. The standard connectors used are the USB 2.0 and eSATA. Simply pick the file of your choice and plug it into your machine via USB or eSATA and the disk will be mounted, the same as if you’d inserted an optical disc. There is also a mode for mounting as a standard external hard drive.

The drawback of the device is its inadequate compatibility with the OS; it works only with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. This Japanese model is priced at 9,980 yen ($112) without a drive inside. This will be an appealing machine which would be a handy one rather than carrying a bag full of installation discs around.
