Verbatim unveils 12GB Store 'n Go USB drive

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.
