Memorex TravelDrive 2007
Memorex this morning launched its TravelDrive 2007 of flash drives. The new edition takes its cue from jack-knives with a swiveling design that keeps the storage safe; when closed, the memory sits in a soft-feel outer shell that provides an extra layer of protection. The memory portion is also given a metallic color to help sort multiple flash drives visually rather than by text labels, as well as a wrap-around LED to prevent removing the drive while it sends data.
The drive works with any Mac OS or Windows PC with capacities from as little as 512MB to as much as 8GB; owners of Windows Vista PCs can also enable the drive for ReadyBoost to use the drive as a cache in place of storage. All TravelDrives ship this month with prices ranging from $20 for the basic 512MB model to $140 for the range-topping 8GB model.
