Compatibility

The new HD drive is fully compatible with Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, and Windows Vista as well as Mac OS 10 X and above and Linux 2.40 and above.

Preloaded software

While the drive can be used in drag 'n' drop mode for quick and immediate access, it also comes pre-loaded with Mobile Launchpad that provides users with the ability to download applications for running directly from the USB HD disc. It also allows users to have complete access to personal files and data without loading the content on to a guest system.

Additionally applications are available for download online, and include mobile photo databases, ID/Password management tools, and applications using the drive to login from any computer and make internet telephone calls or have online chats. Once downloaded on to the drive, users can work in their usual work environment on any computer.

Delivering high performance, low power consumption and superior reliability Verbatim’s new Store ’n’ Go USB 2.0 HD Drive stores nearly eight hours of MPEG-1 video, about 3,000 hours of MP3 music (based upon an average file size of 4MB), around 6,000 300dpi colour photos or 12GB of personal and business files. Such features make it ideal for videographers and photographers who want to collaborate on post-production projects and quickly move work from one system to another.

And the hard drive’s compact size makes it easy for users, such as students, to carry research and class project files from school to home. And it is a boon for busy executives who are constantly on the go and have company presentations, customer and partner contact information, databases, spreadsheets and key business files with them at all times, without the need to carry a laptop or notebook. And, with the convenience of being able to carry diagnostic/repair, configuration and application files in a pocket, Verbatim’s hard disc drive is also a compelling storage solution for IT personnel and service technicians.

“Being on the move on a business trip or for private purposes calls for comfortable data access without a computer everywhere you go,” said Kai-Uwe Miroschnik, Multi Media & Peripheral Business Development Manager.  “Our new Store ‘n’ Go USB 2.0 HD Drive, along with the other Store 'n' Go family members, are as convenient to carry as a USB Flash Drive but with the advantage of having a much larger storage capacity.”
