Final Thoughts:
With so many portable hard drives available today, it's hard to make your product stand out in the crowd. In the case of the Store 'n' Go SuperSpeed USB 3.0, Verbatim has done just that. Along with a stylish, compact design, this USB powered, portable hard drive packs some impressive performance. Thanks to its USB 3.0 interface, the Store 'n' Go was able to read and write at speeds as high as 83 MB/s. The drive is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0. However, as you saw in our tests, it's much slower when operating in this mode. Verbatim tops all this off with a generous 7 year warranty and a software bundle which includes Nero BackItUp & Burn Essentials as well as the company's own energy saving and disk formatting utilities.
The Verbatim Store 'n' Go SuperSpeed USB 3.0 is available now in 500GB and 1TB capacities with prices on Amazon.com ranging from $70 to $135 depending on the size and color.
