July 07, 2005: Imation's Micro
Hard Drive, which can store up to 2-gigabytes
of data, has been recognised by the Guinness
Book of World Records for having the world's
smallest hard drive spinning head.
It's USB 2.0 high-speed interface
is designed to allow files to be shared and
transferred easily across PCs, Mac and Linux
platforms. It also includes security options
to help keep valuable files protected.
Imation Security Manager file
synchronisation and encryption software for
Windows and Mac backs up multiple file versions
behind the scenes and automatically synchronises
copies, to prevent unauthorised access by tightly
locking all files with 128-bit encryption.
Even if the device is stolen,
the encryption technology can prevent anybody
from downloading any files.
A spokesperson for Imation,
said that the Imation Micro Hard Drive, offers
just the right mix of capacity, security and
reliability for on-the-go professionals.
"The Micro Hard Drive
is perfect for content rich and rugged work
environments such as advertising and geoscience
industries. Whether users are sharing, storing
or transporting high-capacity files, the Imation
Micro Hard Drive's design and software will
ensure their files are there when they want
them."
The drive also allows users
to roll back to earlier versions of documents.
Imation is hoping that it will follow the same
success of its USB flash drives, which have
been very popular for the company so far.
