Okay, attention all business backpackers: If you’re looking for a storage drive that you can take with you anywhere despite rain, shine or mudslides, look no further than the Verbatim Store’n’Go Plus. You won’t be the only one wearing a suit or traveling into unknown destinations; this sturdy, heavy duty USB comes with a “suit” to protect it, too, and it can travel anywhere with you.
Remember when we announced Verbatim’s release of the marvelously tiny Tuff’n’Tiny? It’s the “penny” drive, smallest USB ever created, that fits, barely noticeable, right on the keychain. Well, the Store’n’Go Plus is a little bigger, but it can also fit right on the keychain, and it has a flexible but tough cover to protect all your important files. 
This all-purpose USB drive is a keeper, whether you’re a photographer out on the trail, business person roughing the office, student traversing classes or dirt biker writer. Available in sizes from 4 GB to 32 GB and starting out at $19.99, this USB drive is an affordable and durable investment. This puppy has USB 2.0 capabilities and connects with any USB port. Plus, just like most Verbatim products, it’s backed by a Lifetime Warranty! No planned obsolence here, folks.
So it’s a few days before Christmas (and the middle of Hannukah), and you still haven’t figured out the “wow” gift for dad, husband, brother or boyfriend. You know he’s just as mesmerized by his techie gadgets as the kids are by their talking toys, and you want to get him something that’ll really give him a kick. Here’s a great stocking stuffer idea for those last-minute shoppers.
He’ll probably be a little confused at first, then as it slowly dawns on him what a cool little thing this is, you’ll watch his eyes light up:
It’s not just a wallet, it’s a wallet drive by Verbatim. Shaped exactly like a black leather wallet with red “stitching,” following the look to the tee, it’s actually an external hard drive with 640 GB of storage. Measuring in at only 4.5 in. by 3.5 in., with a clever design to amuse and almost unbelievably fast write times, this one is sure to be a keeper. With one review[1] clocking a 6.5 GB transfer in at just under three minutes, it doesn’t seem like this drive is going to be testing anyone’s patience.
This clever little hard drive is backed by a seven year warranty and includes a short USB 2 cable. Super easy to use (you just plug it in and go), it won’t be fooling anyone with technical tricks – the only trick is its cover design, and that’s a fun one. While it officially retails at around $193, Amazon and other big stores chop the price down to around $100. For a stylish, sleek and fast hard drive with a lot of storage, that’s a pretty good price. And the chuckle in his eyes when he sees it? Priceless.

THE BD-RE DL discs from Verbatim are now available for shipment across the country to be used by replicators and duplicators from coast to coast in standard Blu-ray players and recorders.
The rewritable discs can be re-written up to 1,000 times and can record as much as 50GB of data – twice as much as a single-layer disc – for multiple audio formats and data as large as 1080p resolution videos.
With the proprietary HardCoat technology from Verbatim, these discs are durable, protecting against smudges, scratches, prints, and dust build up. This protective coat also helps cut down on playback and recording errors.
As of Sept. 1 2010, all Mitsubishi Kagaku Media Co. products will be unified under the Verbatim brand, according to an announcement by company president Shigenori Otsuka. The brand has undergone a reorganization over the last few years. When first introduced, Verbatim was considered a global brand of Mitsubishi Kagaku Media and was available in more than 80 countries worldwide.
As the largest provider of recordable optical discs for five years, Verbatim expanded to sell a wider range of products, including USB memory, SD cards, portable hard disc drives, etc in 2008. In September of last year Mitsubishi transitioned the optical data disc product line to Verbatim.
As of now, all new products for recordable BD, recordable DVD, and recordable CD will be released under Verbatim, as well as all product lines to be released in the future. Redesigned packaging for new Verbatim products will soon be released to unify the product line and to make it easier for the customer to indentify Verbatim products. Consistent terminology will also appear on the new packaging in addition to new, corresponding designs symbolizing the terminology.
LightScribe technology offers consumers and businesses a simple, no-hassle way to burn professional, silkscreen-quality labels on their CDs and DVDs. Using the same laser that burns data in their disc drives, customers burn their data as always, flip the disc over, re-insert it into the drive and burn a precise and permanent iridescent label.
Highlights:
Professional-quality labels: Laser precision and detail
Simplicity: Just Burn – Flip – Burn
Durability: Long-lasting, scratch-resistant labels.
Mobility: Burn labels wherever you burn a disc, no need for printers!
Creativity: Combine text and graphics to personalize discs.
LightScirbe Direct Disc Labeling technology requires three elements:
- LightScribe-enabled optical disc drive (ODD) – The drive can be either built into your desktop or notebook PC or you can use an external disc drive.
- LightScribe-compatible media – LightScribe CD/DVD’s utilize a special coating applied to the disc surface that interacts with the laser of the LightScribe-enabled disc drive. Consumers can readily identify LightScribe-compatible media through the LightScribe logo found on media packaging and in the lower hub of each disc.
- LightScribe-supported software applications – In addition to a label-making software, you will need LightScribe System Software (This software may be included with your hardware, or it may need to be installed separately). With this software, you can create one-of-a-kind designs for your CDs and DVDs using your own photos, text and artwork
Verbatim LightScribe Media
Verbatim offers a wide selection of LightScribe compatible media:

- Multiple pack sizes
- Available in standard gold or colored background discs
Verbatim is one of the most well known names when it comes to DVD-R, CD-R, DVD DL and Blu-ray media. They have a great reputation for quality and reliability. Many people see Verbatim brand media in their local stores when shopping for blank media. It is important to look for media that has Verbatim’s DataLifePlus distinction when shopping for blank media. Many times stores will only stock the lower grade media form Verbatim. DataLifePlus means the disc is of professional grade, which is important for the quality and longevity of the disc. DataLifePlus is higher quality because the dye layer is thicker. The dye layer is where the data is stored when burning a CD or DVD. Inexpensive or generic discs tend to have very thin dye layers which can lead to failed discs during the burning process. A thin dye layer could also lead to data loss and data corruption within 1 year. When you have important files that you need stored and kept safe, you want to have a disk that you know is not going to fail your or corrupt your files.
DataLifePlus discs incorporate Verbatim’s proprietary Metal Azo recording dye technology, fine-tuned to produce exceptional results at the highest write speeds, while maintaining compatibility with lower speed recording devices and assuring long archival lifetimes for important data. DataLifePlus DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs are manufactured utilizing a patented phase-change recording layer, Super Eutectic Recording Layer (SERL), which minimizes noise during write/rewrite cycles and provides superior archival stability.
Because the drives of today are faster and more powerful than they were just a few years ago, it makes burning discs more susceptible to failure during the recording/burn process. Verbatim DataLifePlus media performs excellent with various recording speeds and various drive manufacturers. Verbatim DataLifeDiscs are tested for compatibility with all the leading drive manufacturers.
No matter what type of files you need to place on blank media, you can be sure that Verbatim DataLifePlus media will perform extremely well. No one wants to lose any of their files, so it is important that you use a quality DVD-R, CD-R, DVD+R DL or Blu-ray Disc.
