Meridian, Idaho, May 28, 2003 - Crucial Technology, a division of Micron and one of the world's largest direct memory upgrade providers, today introduced the Crucial® Gizmo!(tm) USB flash drive, a miniature, portable flash storage drive that plugs into a computer's Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. This high-density alternative to the traditional floppy disk stores digital documents, music, and photographs and conveniently transfers data from one USB-enabled computer to another. About the size and weight of a pack of gum, the Gizmo! drive slips easily into a pocket, purse, or briefcase. "With so many people sharing files between non-networked PCs, the need for a convenient, portable way to store and transfer large amounts of data grew dramatically," said Crucial Technology General Manager Fred Waddel. "That is where the Crucial Gizmo! drive comes in. Despite its miniature size, even the smallest capacity Gizmo! holds more than 40 times the amount of data than a traditional diskette. Plus, it is fast, secure, and easy to use." The Gizmo! drive is a full-speed device, compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports. A true Plug and Play(tm) solution, the Gizmo! drive automatically appears as a removable drive when plugged in to the USB port of a desktop or notebook.
