New Delhi, August 26, 2008 – After the huge success of Storejet Mobile, Transcend Information, Inc.

The 2 new drives include an eye-catching portable hard drive, the chic StoreJet™ 25C, and StoreJet™ 25P, an all-new lightweight portable hard drive with a slim easy-to-carry design.

Mr. Austin Huang, Regional Head – Sales, SAARC & APAC, Transcend, said, “USB powered portable hard drives are gaining immense popularity both in India and the worldwide markets because of their large capacity, compact size and cost-effectiveness. With the growing internet usage all around, we foresee both the individual users and businesses, both small and big, driving the demand for external portable hard drives because of their ever growing need for more data storage capacity.”
