Memory formats are growing larger – and often more expensive as the capacity increases. Verbatim EUMEA Business Development Manager, Multi Media and Peripherals, Kai Miroschnik, says  “In comparison with a standard 500GB HDD users get additional 140GB to a competitive inexpensive price. We offer this low-cost storage solution, without having to forfeit any of our usual quality standards.”.

As with Verbatim’s other 3.5 inch format Hard Drives, this model weighs a mere 961 grams and, with its black design, blends seamlessly as an Accessory at any  workstation. With handy Plug & Play functionality, it can be used immediately, as no installation is required, and it comes with USB connectivity. The internal high-speed SATA hard disk delivers 5,400 rpm and guarantees convenient and reliable data storage with transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbit/s. The HDD requires no special cooling, since ventilation grilles on the back of the drive ensures the ideal operating temperature.

“The package is rounded off with our free hotline support service and the ‘Nero BackItUp 2 Essentials’ backup software for Windows. With this product, we are once again living up to our pledge of developing practical and high-quality innovations that are also affordable," says Miroschnik, explaining Verbatim's philosophy.
