Thank you for purchasing WiebeTech's ComboGB, your best choice for a full-featured, ultra-
portable drive. The ComboGB offers maximum connectivity, performance and ruggedness, all in
a size that fits easily in your pocket. And because it comes with all the cables you'll need to plug
in to nearly any computer, ComboGB is one of the most versatile portable drives on the market.
Bus-Powered – Most FireWire ports and some USB ports provide enough juice to power the
ComboGB. The included USB power cord helps deliver additional power when bus power is
insufficient. An optional AC adapter is also available.
Attractive and durable – The ComboGB also features an attractive case - a perfect balance of
aluminum and synthetic materials. The textured finish makes for a sturdy enclosure that's easy to
hold or pick up, while the brushed and embossed aluminum inset panel looks great. Its small size
allows it to fit right in your pocket so you can take it anywhere.
