Patriot Announces AERO Mobile Hard Drive

Patriot, a global pioneer in high-performance memory, NAND flash, storage, and mobile accessories today announces the next generation in its ecosystem of wireless storage solutions, the AERO wireless mobile hard drive.

Load up, go mobile, and share. With the ever expanding tablet and smartphone landscape, the AERO is the definitive mobile storage solution that allows you to take your full media collection on the go and stream to any tablet, smartphone, or laptop. The Patriot AERO truly lets you share content to your mobile devices like never before, even if you don't have access to the internet or cloud storage.

Create the ultimate entertainment hub in the palm of your hand. Using the free Patriot Connect App, available on Google Play, Apple App Store, and the Amazon Appstore, the AERO can wirelessly connect and stream high definition content simultaneously to 5 tablets or smartphones.
