EDGE Tech Corp. Sends Our Thoughts and Prayers to the Thailand Flood Victims

The flooding in Thailand continues to bring devastation and destruction.  The rising flood waters are washing away homes, businesses, infrastructure and everything else in its path.  Not only is there loss of property, there has been too many lives lost to this natural disaster that started in late July and is continuing to affect the country.  The disaster has been described as the worst flooding ever, based on the amount of water and the number of people affected.  The amount of property and the number of lives lost is horrendous.

All of us here at EDGE Tech Corp. would like to express our deepest sympathy to the people of Thailand.  We hope and pray that the devastation and destruction will come to an end quickly, and the people can rebuild their lives.

EDGE Tech Corp. Announces Suite of SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Flash Drives

EDGE Tech Corp introduces two models of its first line of SuperSpeed USB 3.0 DiskGO® flash drives – the DiskGO SuperSpeed USB 3.0 and the DiskGO Secure USB 3.0. EDGE is a leading U.S.-based supplier of DRAM and flash memory upgrades, portable computing products, storage devices, and other experience-enhancing technology solutions.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) March 17, 2011

EDGE Tech Corp introduces two models of its first line of SuperSpeed USB 3.0 DiskGO® flash drives – the DiskGO SuperSpeed USB 3.0 and the DiskGO Secure USB 3.0. EDGE is a leading U.S.-based supplier of DRAM and flash memory upgrades, portable computing products, storage devices, and other experience-enhancing technology solutions.
Both new models are available in 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB capacities to meet the growing adoption of the new USB 3.0 standard. A capless swivel design protects the USB connector and eliminates the need for a clunky cap. Each drive delivers blazing transfer speeds of up to 5Gb/s—10x faster than USB 2.0 flash drives (480Mb/s). The read and write speeds are as follows:

  • 8GB: 47MB/s (read) 35MB/s (write)
  • 16GB: 67MB/s (read) 30MB/s (write)
  • 32GB: 70MB/s (read) 40MB/s (write)

 

DiskGO USB 3.0 flash drives can back up HD movies, photo collections, and entire music libraries in seconds when connected to a USB 3.0 port. EDGE’s Product Development Manager, Brandon Coles, said, “As technology evolves, the release of new consumer devices with sophisticated user applications creates greater demand for higher transfer rates and performance connection between PCs and other devices. USB 3.0 meets that demand with remarkable increases in speed and lower power consumption.”

CryptArchiver—powerful encryption and password protection software—comes standard on the DiskGO Secure USB 3.0 Flash Drive. Users can encrypt data using either government standard 256-bit AES or 448-bit Blowfish encryption. No software installation is required. The application is portable and fully processed from the flash drive. The DiskGO SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Flash Drive comes preloaded with CryptArchiver Lite, a trial version of the software that secures data using 128-bit AES encryption.

DiskGO USB 3.0 drives are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports and work with both PC and Mac computers. All EDGE flash drives come standard with a limited lifetime warranty.

EDGE Tech Corp Launches Mini, Quarter-Sized 32GB Flash Drives

EDGE Tech Corp, a leading U.S.-based supplier of DRAM and flash memory upgrades, portable computing products, storage devices, and other experience-enhancing technology solutions, adds two new 32GB flash drives to its established DiskGO® product line: the DiskGO® Mini—designed for convenient, easy-to-use storage, and the DiskGO® Backup—which includes innovative automatic backup software.

The DiskGO Mini Flash Drive lives up to its name, measuring a mere 1.4 inch x 1.0 inch (slightly larger than a quarter). It is less than ¼ inch thick and weighs 1/10 of an ounce—essentially unnoticeable when in a pocket. For convenience and protection, the unique sliding USB connector is concealed when not in use, and an attached key ring makes it easy to take the Mini anywhere. Also included is CryptArchiver™ Lite—software that protects data from unauthorized use with government level AES encryption.

The DiskGO Backup is identical in size to the DiskGO Mini, but includes powerful Dmailer Backup software. After setting up Dmailer, selected files are backed up to the device using 128-bit AES encryption (optional), and newly created files are automatically backed up when the device is plugged in. For added security and convenience, data can be replicated to a personal online cloud which can be accessed from any computer in the world that is connected to the Internet. 2GB of cloud storage comes free for life. Both the DiskGO Mini and DiskGO Backup Flash Drive are supported by a lifetime warranty.

EDGE Tech Corp president and CEO, Jeff Thompson, said, “Storage capacities continue to balloon as devices shrink in size. Online cloud storage is becoming increasingly important to consumers and businesses of all sizes. Both of our new devices conform to these trends and fit well within our unique DiskGO product line.”
