Corporation, an industry leader in the Verbatim development and marketing of high-quality products for storing, moving and using digital content, today announced the latest additions to its popular Store ‘n’ Go line of USB Drives. The new 16GB USB drive is instantly recognized when plugged into the USB port of a desktop or notebook PC. With this mobility, road warriors, students and commuters can easily carry their data with them and can connect the drive to any computer through the USB port when they arrive at their destination.

The drive is designed for anyone that needs portable mass storage. With the easy-touse devices, users gain a whole new range of mobility options. Students can use the drive to transfer files from school libraries to their home PC. Families with two or more home computers can use the drive to move files from one computer to another, instead of setting up a network.

Verbatim Store 'n' Go Drives can be used with Windows 98SE, 2000, XP; MAC® OS 8.6 and higher; Linux 2.4.0 and the newly released Microsoft® Vista™. A Microsoft Vista-compatible version of the security application will be available later this month.

Verbatim’s Store 'n' Go Pro Drives provide the fastest and most innovative way to store, share and transport large files or large numbers of files. With a maximum write speed of 14MB/sec speed (over 90X in terms of CD speed rating), and a maximum read speed of 24MB/sec (over 160X), the Store ‘n’ Go Pro Drive provides unmatched performance and security featuring 256-bit AES hardware data encryption.

While these features provide digital photographers, graphic artists, IT professionals, MP3 enthusiasts, etc. with a compelling storage solution, the advanced security features also make the drives ideal for business users. In addition to including hardware data encryption and tamper resistant password entry security, the Store 'n' Go Pro drives feature V-Key File Synchronization Software that helps users manage data and ensure that the most current information is updated between devices.

The USB drives feature mandatory safeguards to protect all device content with a complex password. The hack-resistant feature locks down the device after 10 failed logon attempts, protecting the data from dictionary or brute force hack attempts. The mandatory security features of the new USB drives make them ideal for mass deployment by government agencies, corporations and private enterprises, especially those in medical, legal, research, administrative and financial fields which are faced with critical demands to protect confidential data.

These stylish, ultra-sleek drives enable consumers to carry launchable, smart software applications; PC settings; files and personal preferences wherever they go without always having to carry a laptop, or risk not having a needed application on a borrowed PC. They can quickly access their emails, applications, personal settings, bookmarks and favorites, folders and documents on any Windows XP or 2000 PC. Well-known for differentiating its products with true added value, Verbatim ships its Store ‘n’ Go U3 Smart Drives with eight preloaded U3applications. The hardware and software combine to provide a compelling solution for consumers ranging from business users and professionals to students and families who share a computer.
