December 6, 2006 – Verbatim announced today that it will expand its product family of Hi-Speed USB2.0 Store ‘n’ Go USB HD Drives with the new 12GB capacity. Ultra-light weight at only 28 grams, the USB hard disc drive meets the needs of people who want to carry large volumes of digital content with them for transfer from one system or location to another. The complete package includes a protective pouch, USB extension cable and a user quick start guide for 129,99 EURO and is available through authorised Verbatim resellers. The hard disc drive is fully compatible with Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, and Windows Vista. It is also compatible with Mac OS 10 X and higher and Linux 2.40 and higher systems.
For quick and immediate access, the Verbatim external hard disc drive can be used in regular drag 'n' drop mode. It also comes pre-loaded with Mobile Launchpad, a utility providing users with the ability to download applications for running directly from the USB HD disc. Mobile Launchpad also allows users to have complete access to personal files and data without loading the content on to a guest system. Many applications specifically designed to enhance the portable experience are available for download online. Programs include mobile photo databases, ID/Password management tools, and applications using the drive to log in from any computer and make Internet telephone calls or have online chats. Once downloaded on to the drive, users can work in their usual work environment on any computer.
Delivering high performance, low power consumption and superior reliability, Verbatim’s new Store ’n’ Go USB HD Drive stores nearly eight hours of MPEG-1 video, about 3,000 hours of MP3 music (based upon an average file size of 4MB), about 6,000 300dpi colour photos or 12 GBs of personal and business files. These features make it ideal for videographers and photographers who want to collaborate on post-production projects and quickly move work from one system to another.
Also the hard drive’s compact size makes it easy for students to carry research and class project files from school to home. It’s also ideal for busy executives who are constantly on the go and have company presentations, customer and partner contact information, databases, spreadsheets and key business files with them at all times, without having to carry their notebooks. And, with the convenience of being able to carry diagnostic/repair, configuration and application files in their pocket, Verbatim’s hard disc drive is also a compelling storage solution for IT personnel and service technicians.
“Being on the move on a business trip or for private purposes calls for comfortable data access without a computer everywhere you go,” said Kai-Uwe Miroschnik, Multi Media & Peripheral Business Development Manager. “Our new Store ‘n’ Go USB HD Drives are as convenient to carry as a USB Flash Drive but have a much larger storage capacity.”
