Transcend introduces new 2.5″ portable hard drives with 500GB capacity in India

- Huge capacity to store tones of personal files, music, digital photos, and even full-length movies –

New Delhi, October 22, 2008 – To meet the ever-increasing consumer demand for high capacity portable hard disk drives, Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend), a global leader in the digital storage industry, has announced the availability of its most popular 2.5″ portable hard drives – StoreJet™ 25C and StoreJet™ 25M – in 500GB capacities in India. Combining huge storage capacity, great looks and compact mobile convenience, Transcend’s high capacity 2.5″ portable hard drives are an excellent way to effectively ensure ample storage space for backing up, transferring, and storing important data and are expected to be a huge hit with the Indian consumers.

Mr. Austin Huang, Regional Head – Sales, SAARC & APAC, Transcend, said, “With broadband Internet connections becoming increasingly faster and mini-sized notebook fever catching on, portable hard disk drives are in huge demand as well. As the storage capacity of notebook hard drives is limited, notebook users must rely on external storage devices with greater capacity hard drives to keep up with their growing storage requirements. Transcend understands the needs of mobile computer users, and offers a complete line of slim, durable, and ultra-portable 2.5″ hard drives.”

Transcend’s 2.5″ portable hard drives not only provide superior build quality and compatibility, but are also designed under Transcend’s principle of developing products which are much closer to what the consumer actually needs. Whether it is a stylish design that expresses your individuality and fashion sense, or a more practical model with useful functions like rugged anti-shock/anti-slip protection, Transcend has a portable hard drive that suits consumers’ personal preferences.

In addition, Transcend’s 2.5″ portable hard drives offer vastly-improved storage productivity with the bundled StoreJet elite software package, which features Website AutoLogin, Mobile Favorites with NoTrace Internet browsing, Secret-Zip 256-bit AES file encryption, Mobile E-mail, Online Update, and intelligent backup scheduling/security/file compression functions. In order to ensure maximum compatibility with virtually all desktop and notebook computers, every Transcend’s portable hard drive is equipped with a high-speed USB2.0 interface that provides maximum data transfer rates of 480Mb per second, while offering true plug-and-play convenience.

Consumers in need of some extra storage space “to-go” can choose from Transcend’s exciting line of high-quality 2.5-inch portable hard drives, such as the elegant stainless-steel high capacity StoreJet™ 25C, or the rugged high capacity StoreJet 25M with advanced two-stage anti-shock technology that meets U.S.military drop-test standards.
