Verbatim 12gb Store n Go
Verbatim has been promoting the U3 usb flash drive application interface for a while. Their latest U3 based flash drive hits a flash drive storage milestone. The Store n Go is available at up to 12gb and sells for $179. With USB flash drives only reaching 4gb for the mainstream at the moment, it’s nice to see manufacturers like Verbatim pushing the envelope.
Twelve gigabytes in a 3 inch by 1.4 inch case with flip out usb connector gives us portable travellers one more storage option between the 4gb, soon to be 8gb flash drives and the 20gb and up 1.8” hard drives.
Benefits of this drive over the 1.8” hard drives are durability, a even smaller size and lower power drain.
Of course Verbatim’s Store ‘n’ Go USB HD Drive includes their own Windows software, Mobile Launchpad, allowing you to carry applications, personal data, email settings and browser preferences with you wherever you go. You can also plug the drive into any USB port Mac or Linux computer but U3 applications are not supported.
Windows U3 application like Skype, AOL IM, Thunderbird email app, and others can run off it.
Expect prices to drop within six months. Of course by then the 16gb Store n Go will be out.
