Sony Expands Micro Vault Line
July 06, 2004
Park Ridge, N.J. - Sony Electronics will ship its new Micro Vault PRO, a USB-enabled device that provides 2 GB storage capacity (about 1.85 in user capacity) and "Auto Sync" file synchronization software, later this month.
About the length and width of a business card, the Micro Vault PRO utilizes a one-inch hard disk drive in a brushed-silver design. It measures 2 x 2.75 inches, is only ½ inch thick, and features a swivel USB connector that swings out to plug into a PCs USB port and then folds back to be "hidden" inside the device.
With its high-speed USB 2.0 digital interface, the device quickly transfers data without the need for cables or driver software, the manufacturer describes. The unique Auto Sync software automatically synchronizes files and data changes on both the PC and the Micro Vault PRO device, allowing for a seamless transition of personal data from one location to another.
With Micro Vault PRO's Auto Sync software, the user can designate folders to which projects in progress can be saved. All files and e-mails in these folders are automatically saved and synchronized so all changes will automatically register on both the PC files and on the Micro Vault PRO. The device's version control function automatically saves up to ten generations of file changes.
The Micro Vault PRO's 2 GB capacity is large enough to hold large PowerPoint presentations, PDF files and digital photos. It is easily compatible with Windows Me, 2000 Pro, XP Pro and XP Home operating systems.
The device will be available later this month for a suggested retail price of $249.99.
