Storage: February 2008 Archives

Although digital photography may have reduced the need for conventional storage mediums like shoeboxes and photo albums, it has upped the demand for magnetic alternatives--alternatives that need not be locked inside a computer. Such alternatives were released this week by Transcend Information, a worldwide maker of storage products headquartered in Taiwan. The new offerings were a rugged external hard drive, the 250GB StoreJet 25 mobile ($176.99), and two spacious USB "thumb" drives, the 32GB JetFlash V60 ($178.99) and the 16GB JetFlash V85 ($104.99).
