<\/p>\n UnifyDrive says<\/a> those backups have six layers of security, including a downloadable backup report that creators can send to commercial clients if needed. The company says those six layers include a streaming checksum verification while the files transfer, write-after-read on-disk integrity checks, RAID 1 mirroring, continuous SMART health monitoring, synchronous dual-location writes, and AES-256 encrypted cloud backup.<\/p>\n Article continues below <\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n While backups may be the primary purpose of the PixelMob, that\u2019s not the only feature built into the gadget. The drive uses on-board AI to cull photos<\/a> \u2013 or choose the best ones \u2013 on site. Creators can use the screen to swipe left to toss it or swipe right to flag it as a keeper.<\/p>\n Culling isn\u2019t the only feature powered by on-device AI. The company says the gadget will also power voice-controlled color-grading for photos on the device itself, which will export as XMP files that are supported by programs like Lightroom<\/a> and Capture One<\/a>.<\/p>\n The PixelMob is also compatible with camera tethering. Beyond placing files immediately on the drive, using a wired tether allows the PixelMob to automate focus stacking<\/a> and HDR processing<\/a>. The company says it can also be used to create time-lapses, stack star trails, and work with auto exposure bracketing.<\/p>\n The PixelMob also has a Wi-Fi Hotspot built-in that allows for sharing photos without downloading a dedicated app. Recipients scan a QR code to receive batch transfers connected to the drive itself rather than an internet connection.<\/p>\n The PixelMob will have two variants, one a smaller 5.5\u201d screen with an eight-hour battery, and a larger 7\u201d screen that also adds CFExpress<\/a> Type B support and up to 10 hours of battery life.<\/p>\n The concept of a portable hard drive with a built-in card slot and screen for on-site backups isn\u2019t new \u2013 and some earlier attempts at similar on-site drives have had limited success, like the LaCie Rugged BOSS<\/a> and the Gnarbox<\/a>, both of which are no longer available.<\/p>\n \n This photo shows UnifyDrive’s current lineup (Image credit: UnifyDrive)<\/p>\n But, PixelMob is trying to be more than just a backup solution. There\u2019s one missing piece in the announcement, however. UnifyDrive hasn\u2019t yet shared the price for the PixelMob, nor a launch date, though an email sign-up list<\/a> is open on the device\u2019s website. The photos of the prototype drive and specs are subject to change.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/eewWUXxSMDLL562CdbdW6Y.jpg\")
