Verbatim® Americas, LLC, an industry leader in the development and marketing of high-quality products for storing, moving and using digital content, announced today at Macworld a Mac OS X compatible 8GB Store ‘n’ Go™ USB Drive, the latest addition to its award-winning Store ‘n’ Go™ line of USB Drives. Customer driven, Verbatim offers the new Store ‘n’ Go drive with two convenience features with that clearly differentiate it from similar USB drives on the market. With the retractable design, the new Mac drive’s USB connectors are fully protected without needing a cap that can be easily misplaced. The 8GB Store ‘n’ Go USB Drive also provides “intelligent” security—users can freely access and share data in the general ‘public’ area without having to log in but have password controlled access to the drive’s private zone from any OS X-equipped Mac. A write-protect feature is included to prevent accidental erasure of data in both areas.
Borrowing from the tagline on the new Store ‘n’ Go for Mac pack, Mark Rogers, Verbatim Product Manager, explained that the “Security that works the way you do™” is a key feature of the drive. “Unlike other USB drives, it doesn’t force you to log in just to use it. It provides basic security features when you need them, but they are not in your way when you don't.”

Add a commentAdvanced Media has announced a new converter that allows a CompactFlash card to function as a Solid State Drive (SSD). Using the converter, two Ridata CF cards can be configured into a RAID 1 array and mounted in a drive bay or a slot on the rear of a PC or notebook.
Advanced Media, Inc., is a manufacturer and marketer of the Ridata brand of electronic storage products, and digital accessories. The company is pleased to announce Ridata 233x Lightning Series CompactFlash® cards plus a SATA Converter RAID 1. Compatible Ridata CF cards range in capacity from 512MB to 32GB. The adapter allows a CF card to function as a Solid State Drive (SSD). In the case of a hard drive failure, the CF card via the converter appears as an ordinary hard drive to any OS and can be configured as a boot device.
"Many of our portable device customers would like to try an SSD without the bigger price tag. Our industrial customers face the problem of waiting for long hard disk drive (HDD) rebuilds that may cause over heating issues. By using our CF card and SATA converter, users can hot swap the HDD with the card and converter saving storage rebuild time with low temperatures and high transfer speeds," commented Harvey Liu, president of Advanced Media, Inc.
