Crucial Technology Europe Introduces New And Improved Gizmo!(TM) Hi-Speed USB Flash Drive
Glasgow, UK, 15 June, 2004 - Crucial Technology(R) Europe, a division of Micron Europe Limited, today introduced the Crucial Gizmo!(TM) Hi-Speed USB flash drive, a faster, slimmer version of the original Gizmo! USB flash drive.
The Crucial Gizmo! Hi-Speed USB flash drive utilizes the Hi-Speed USB interface, which supports data transfer speeds up to 480 megabits per second (Mbps). The updated dark grey case is only 66.5mm x 16.5mm x 8mm; small enough to allow multiple drives to simultaneously plug into neighbouring USB ports. A hole in the base allows the Gizmo! drive to fit comfortably on a key chain, and a green LED indicates when data is being transferred. Included security software provides data encryption and password protection.
"The gradual extinction of the floppy means consumers are relying a lot more on USB drives," said Stefanie Summerfield General Manager, Crucial Europe. "At Crucial, we are delighted to be introducing the Gizmo! Hi-Speed USB flash drive to help our customers transfer their data even quicker!"
A true Plug and Play solution, the Gizmo! drive automatically appears as a removable drive when plugged in to the USB port of a desktop PC, Macintosh, or notebook. Each Hi-Speed Gizmo! drive comes with a key ring, lanyard, multilingual user guide, limited lifetime warranty, free shipping (for a limited time only) within the UK on qualified orders, and Crucial's renowned customer service and free technical support.
The Crucial Gizmo! drive is available on Crucial's Web sites in densities of 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB. Pricing currently ranges from 15.99GPB to 125.99GPB and 23.99 euros to 190.99 euros.
