Iomega announced its latest product today called the ScreenPlay HD Multimedia Drive. The device has 500 GB of storage space, which is enough capacity to store 2 million photos, 9250 hours of music or about 750 hours of video.

The portable drive weighs two pounds and measures 7.7” x 2.3” x 5”. Inside the enclosure is a 3.5-inch 7200 RPM drive pre-formatted with NTFS for use on Windows computers. Connectivity options for the drive include HDMI, component and composite. Audio connectivity options include RCA and coaxial S/PDIF outputs. For moving video to and from a PC a USB 2.0 cable is used. The drive supports playback of video at 480i, 480p, 720p, and upscales to 1080i.
