Verbatim 2GB Store 'n' Go PRO Wins Award From PC World Magazine

Verbatim's 2GB Store 'n' Go Pro USB drive was honored by PC World Magazine with a 2005 World Class Award for Storage and Backup Products. Celebrating its 23rd year, the respected World Class Awards honor products that meld practical features with innovation and reflect the rapidly changing technology marketplace. The winners were selected for their exemplary design and usability, features, performance, innovation, and price.

Chosen as one of the year's top 10 storage products, PC World found the 2GB Verbatim flash drive delivered the ideal combination of both high data transfer speeds and the security people want in today's fast-paced business world.

The Store 'n' Go Pro drives provide one of the the fastest and most innovative ways to store, share and transport large data files, presentations, photos, music and video at a very reasonable cost. With an impressive write speed of 14MB/sec speed (over 90X in terms of CD speed rating) and read speeds of 23MB/sec (over 150X), the Store 'n' Go Pro USB drive provides class-leading performance. For example, a 100MB folder can be transferred in less than 7 seconds!

"Historically, storage convenience plus capacity has been the winning formula for the best USB drives," said Richard Doherty, research director of the Envisioneering Group. "Having mission-critical or intensely-personal files safely with you is important in our fast-paced industry, yet what really sets this Store 'n' Go Pro apart from the rest is its robust security software. In the event the drive does become lost or misplaced, you can rest assured the most curious or persistent person can't access your data. That kind of peace-of-mind is almost priceless these days, yet Verbatim's Store 'n' Go Pro is competitively priced versus unprotected products."

The Store 'n' Go Pro USB 2.0 Drive is now available with capacities from 256MB to 2GB. Street prices range from $49 for the 256MB device to $199 for the 2GB device. All Store 'n' Go USB Drives are backed by Verbatim's limited lifetime warranty. Verbatim is a subsidiary of Mitsubishi, a company also well known for its quality, and innovative products.
