Measuring 81mm wide, 117mm long and 16mm deep, the product and packaging of the new Store `n` Go Portable Hard Drives are almost 30% smaller than the previous generation, and they are also 20% lighter, making them easier to handle than ever before. In addition, thanks to its FAT32 file system, the drive is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems. The Verbatim Store `n` Go is available in a range of different models with memory capacities ranging from 250GB up to 1TB, meaning there is a drive to suit everyone – whatever the memory requirements.
Software for Back-Ups, Burning and Energy Saving
Included with the Verbatim Store `n` Go Hard Drive are two software packages, including Nero BackItUp and Burn Essentials, which combine three important functions in just one piece of software: as well as regularly backing-up all files and folders, users can also burn photos, videos or other data content onto CD, DVD or Blu-ray Disc, and recover damaged files with Nero RescueAgent. The GREEN BUTTON software reduces energy consumption and extends the drive’s life expectancy by automatically placing the Verbatim Store `n` Go into sleep mode after a programmed period of time or by the user manually clicking on the GREEN BUTTON on the desktop.
