The Memorex

TravelDrive™ is a portable storage device utilizing a plug-and-play
USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface that allows it to function as if it were an exter-
nal hard drive. Based on USB 2.0 standards, the TravelDrive™ is useable in either
an available USB 1.1 or 2.0 port. Your computer easily recognizes the TravelDrive™
once it is inserted into your USB connection. You can drag and drop files to or
from the TravelDrive™ just as you would to a floppy disk or a hard drive with the
added benefit of a faster, far more secure and portable data storage solution than
most other previous alternatives.
