16MB FlashDisc unveiled
Verbatim has unveiled the Verbatim16MB FlashDisc, a new product developed by M-Systems designed to facilitate data exchange. The device offers a traditional media-like disc design with circular features and hard plastic exterior. A recessed area provides a write-on user label, and a snap-on cap protects the connector from accidental damage. FlashDiscs include a USB 2.0-compatible interface for simple plug-and-play operation, and are based on the same technology as USB flash drives. FlashDiscs weigh roughly 0.3 ounces and measure 2.35-inches in diameter with a height of 0.35-inches. FlashDiscs are compatible with Mac OS 9.x, 10.x, Linux, and Microsoft Windows systems. The discs are priced at $20 for a multi-color three-pack, and are slated for shipment in April.
