US Modular Introduces 100GB of Ultra-Slim, Portable Storage |
|
US Modular, a designer and manufacturer of personal memory and storage products, announced the shipping of its newest and largest-capacity ultra-portable external hard drive, the Dragon Drive. The 100-gigabyte Dragon Drive model is a USB 2.0 bus-powered portable external storage drive system which offers the convenience of high-speed, reliable data storage and backup, but in a form factor small enough to tote in a purse, briefcase or even a user's pants pocket. The compact nature of this device makes it a compelling tool for people on the go or anyone who wants the security of redundant data storage but without the encumbrances of size.
The 100GB model Dragon Drive is one of the tiniest portable auto-detectable combo (USB 2.0 + FireWire) hard drives (2.5-inch form factor) on the market today. Less than an inch high, this ultra-slim, high-performance hard drive requires no messy AC power cords (it is 100 percent powered through an included two-port USB 2.0 cable or FireWire cable) and, because of its slim size, is the perfect laptop or desktop companion. With both Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and FireWire connections, setup is a snap and data transfer is blazing fast. The 100GB Dragon Drive model will be available in July and will be priced at an MSRP of $279.
