 US Modular data storage - Capacities
Priced at $129.00, the Monstor Drives will begin shipping on November 1st. "The beauty of digital data is that it is both highly mobile and an excellent medium for archiving in that it does not degrade," explains Nick Payzant, CEO of US Modular. "As storage capacities expand, people are finding ever more reasons to take data with them and to replicate data for redundancy and security's sake. Our mission is to offer higher density storage in smaller form factors and at better consumer price-points. Ultimately, we believe that 100-percent data storage redundancy will be a common practice as people look to secure their valuable, and often irreplaceable, digital assets."
