LG Electronics U.S.A. today unveiled its line of Flash RAM/USB Drives and memory cards at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), led by its flagship product – the Platinum USB drive.
With cutting-edge products such as fashionable Flash RAM USB drives and an assortment of Flash RAM memory cards aimed at any digital media, LG said it is striving to make it easier for users to store and transfer data across a variety of today's most popular digital devices.
The key product in its line-up of Flash RAM USB drives is the Platinum USB drive – a compact and stylish tool for external storage. LG noted. With a capacity ranging from 64Mbytes to 1Gbyte, the Platinum has a read speed of 8Mbps and a write speed of 7Mbps, making it what LG believes is one of the fastest Flash RAM USB drives on the market.
With a weight of only 12 grams, LG believes it is also one of the smallest that also comes in its own jewelry case that complements its design. For the person always losing the cap to their USB drive, the company has included a retractable port, perfect for the business traveler delivering presentations, the busy mom with digital pictures to print, or a student transferring term papers from one computer to another, LG said.
The retractable Flash RAM USB Drive features storage capacities ranging from 64Mbytes to 2Gbytes.
A new “Wine” series of Flash RAM USB drives is aimed at style-conscious consumers that comes in either red or white wine colors with storage capacities ranging from 64Mbytes to 2Gbytes.
Next, LG rolled out a line of Compact Flash products with capacities up to 4Gbytes, read speeds of up to 15Mbps and write speeds of 14Mbps.
In terms of the smallest technology, LG also has Micro-SD flash cards, with storage capacities ranging from 64Mbytes to 512Mbytes. LG said these Micro-SD Flash RAM memory cards are the smallest Flash memory cards on the market, and are constructed using a proprietary injection molding process, which prevents bending and keeps data secure. As an added data security measure, all LG cards are resistant to water, humidity and dust, the company noted.
A small step-up in size from the Micro-SD is LG’s Mini-SD Flash RAM memory card originally designed to help LG expand the memory of its cell phones without making them too large. The Mini-SD card comes with an adapter, and is aimed at applications such as transferring MP3s and digital photos from a PC to a cell phone, or as a smaller substitute for an SD card. LG’s Mini-SD Flash RAM memory cards have storage capacities ranging from 64Mbytes to 2Gbytes.
Rounding out LG’s line of Flash RAM memory cards is a series of high-capacity SD memory cards ranging from 512Mbytes up to 2Gbytes with read speeds of 10Mbps, write speeds of 9.5Mbps.
