 Imation's USB 2.0 Swivel Flash drives weigh less than one ounce and are about the size of a AA battery. The small size makes the light-weight drive highly portable, fitting conveniently onto a supplied lanyard, or easily slipped into a pocket. The drives read at 8MB/sec and write data at 7MB/sec. By plugging directly into the USB port of any computer, Imation USB 2.0 Swivel Flash Drives can easily store digital information such as documents, music, presentations, photos and more. Optional public/private drive partitioning and password protection software (available via a free download from Imation.com) can protect data from accidental erasure or unauthorized access.
The new 1GB drives are available for a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $360. Actual retail prices may vary. Imation USB 2.0 Swivel Flash Drives are now available in 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB capacities, and are available from Imation authorized distributors and resellers. |
