News:
Those of you interested in purchasing SimpleTech's SimpleDrive MiniStorage 4 Gigabyte 1" portable USB 2.0 drive at a very affordable price may want to visit Costco and purchase the SimpleTech drive for $69. This drive fits in the palm of your hand, contains a folding USB connector that transforms the drive into a 1" square and will enable you to save and possibly record your projects directly to the drive due to the 480 Mbps transfer rate afforded by USB 2.0 technology. We will need to verify the drive's ability to record digital audio in class. Many colleagues have been successful recording digital audio on USB 2.0 drives.
